As I sit here in this old folks home my hair just as white as snow
And I remember back when I was young again how everything was jolly
My sister did the dance and brother beat the drum
And baby rocked her dolly baby rocked her dolly
Those kids of mine are grown up now they write every now and then
And just to read the lines brings back the times of all our fun and folly
My sister did the dance and brother beat the drum
And baby rocked her dolly baby rocked her dolly
That wife of mine God rest her soul she's gone on before me
I bet she's told the Lord about all the times our house was filled with folly
My sister did the dance and brother beat the drum
And baby rocked her dolly baby rocked her dolly
The man across the hall is a lonely man he never had a family
And so he asked me to tell him about our kids when he's feeling melancholy
My sister did the dance and brother beat the drum
And baby rocked her dolly baby rocked her dolly
Every night I pray for those kids of mine I wish they were here with me
And before I die Lord let me see a sight to make me jolly
My sister did the dance and brother beat the drum
And baby rocked her dolly baby rocked her dolly
And baby rocked her dolly baby rocked her dolly
