Rockabye Lyrics
[Verse]
She works the night by the water
She's gone astray, so far away
From my father's daughter
She just wants a life for a baby
All on her own, no one will come
She's got to save him
[Pre-Chorus]
She tells him, "Oh, 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."
[Chorus]
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
She works the night by the water
She's gone astray, so far away
From my father's daughter
She just wants a life for a baby
All on her own, no one will come
She's got to save him
[Pre-Chorus]
She tells him, "Oh, 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."
[Chorus]
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
[Instrumental Drop]
[Bridge]
Now she 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
[Pre-Chorus]
She tells him, "Oh, 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."
[Chorus]
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
