Lefty Frizzel - Lullaby Yodel lyrics

My baby, I know that you want me Each lonely night and day Your deep blue eyes, how they haunt me Though you're far away Oh, why did she take you away from my arms And leave nothing to cherish there She left me so blue but when she took you too It seems more than I could bear My baby, I want you tonight, dear After my work is through To rock you to sleep in my arms, dear And sing lullabies to you I dream of your baby caresses Dimples and golden hair And reach out to clasp you in my arms To find only emptiness there Your future has been the chief theme of my life You'll never know what it means My plans and my schemes are all blasted it seems For you are my only embrace My baby, I want you tonight, dear After my work is through Just to rock you to sleep in my arms, dear And sing lullabies to you
