Lullaby Yodel Lyrics - Lefty Frizzel

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
