She works at nights by the water She’s gone astray so far away From my father’s daughter She just wants a life for her baby All on her own, No one will come She’s got to save him
She tells him, “Ooh, love, No one’s ever gonna hurt you, love. I’m gonna give you all of my love. Nobody matters like you.”
She tells him, “Your life Ain’t gon’ be nothing like my life. You’re gonna grow and have a good life. I’m gonna do what I’ve got to do.”
So, rockabye baby, rockabye I’m gonna rock you Rockabye baby, don’t you cry Somebody’s got you Rockabye baby, rockabye I’m gonna rock you Rockabye baby, don’t you cry
Rockabye, no Rockabye, oh, yeah, yeah
She found her love way too early He left her there with more than tears and heart to carry They said, “Too young. What are you thinking?” They told her, “Choose.” She chose to use her heart and keep him
Now she’s got a six-year-old Trying to keep him warm Trying to keep out the cold When he looks in her eyes He don’t know he is safe
When she says, “Ooh, love, No one’s ever gonna hurt you, love. I’m gonna give you all of my love. Nobody matters like you.”
So, rockabye baby, rockabye I’m gonna rock you Rockabye baby, don’t you cry
