WHILE MY BABY’S ASLEEP Sung by: Ollie Gilbert Recorded in Mountain View, AR by George Fisher Click here to listen to the original recording Others by the fireside keep. All the pleasure ever I seek Is rocking my baby to sleep. Chorus: Hi lee o lo, rock-a-bye baby, Tossing the baby ever so high. Hi lee o lo, rock-a-bye baby, Mama'll come home to you after while. One night I got my baby to sleep. I took a short stroll on the street, And to my surprise I saw with my eyes My wife with a soldier . . . Oh, then I went wild, but I passed with a smile. I was only taking a peek. While hugging and kissing the men on the street, I’m rocking my baby to sleep. (Chorus) |
