Lyrics for Just A-Sittin' And A-Rockin'
I don't go out walking I ain't for no talking My baby's done left me Just a sittin' and a rockin' If I had been scheming Instead of just dreaming He'd never have left me Just a sittin' and a rockin' Sittin all day without holding my baby Makes me so blue and sad If he don't hurry and come back It's a cinch to drive me mad Now if I don't find him I hope you'll remind him That I'm staying where he left me Just a sittin' and a rockin' All day Don't go out a walking And I for no talking My baby's done left me Just a sittin' and a rockin' All day If I had been scheming Instead of just dreaming He'd never have left me Just a sittin' and a rockin' Sittin all day without holding my baby I miss my lonely papa If he don't hurry and come back It's a cinch to, I'll blow my toppa Now if I don't find him I hope you'll remind him That I'm staying where he left me Just a sittin' and a rockin' Rockin' and a sittin' Sittin' and a rockin' All day
