Lullaby Yodel

[Verse 1]
My baby I know that you want me
Each lonely night and day
Your dear blue eyes how they haunt me
Though you're far away

[Verse 2]
Oh why did she take you away from my arms
And leave nothing to cherish there
She's left me so blue but when she took you too
It seemed more than I could bear

[Chorus]
My baby I want you tonight dear
After my work is through
To rock you to sleep in my arms dear
And sing lullaby's to you

[Post-Chorus]
I-dee-ho-lay-ee, oh-dee-oh-dee-ee-ee-lay-oh-ee-ee
I-dee-lay-dee-ho-lay-ee, dee-oh-dee-oh-lay-ee-oh-lay-ee
Dee-oh-dee-oh-lay-ee-ee-oh-lay-ee-ee

[Verse 3]
I dream of your baby caresses
Dimples and golden hair
I reach out to clasp you in my arms
And find only emptiness there

[Verse 4]
Your future has been the chief aim of my life
You'll never know what it means
My plans and my schemes are all blasted it seems
For you are mine only in dreams

[Chorus]
My baby I want you tonight dear
After my work is through
To rock you to sleep in my arms dear
And sing lullaby's to you

[Post-Chorus]
Oh-dee-lay-ee-I-oh-lay-ee-oh-oh-lay-ee
