She works the nights by the water

She's gone astray so far away

From her father's daughter

She just wants a life all for her baby

All on her own, no one will come

She's got to save him

She tells him, "Ooh, 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."

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, rockabye,

rockabye-bye-bye-bye...

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, "Ooh, love, no one's ever gonna hurt you, love.

I'm gonna give you all of my love.

Nobody matters like you."

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

Oh rockabye

Oh rocka-bye-bye-bye

Oh rockabye..

Oh rockabye bye-bye-bye...

Oh, so rockabye

I'm gonna rock you

Rockabye baby don't you cry

Rockabye baby, rockabye

I'm gonna rock you

Rockabye baby, don't you cry

Cause somebody's got you
