1] I sprawl on my bed in a heap,
It's too long since I've had some sleep,
As I'm dozin' off, I hear the product of my womb
Demanding my presence from the comfort of her room.
R} I'm walkin' the floor holdin' you,
You won't let me sleep, this is true;
I've fed you and I've changed you, now it's quarter after two--
Walkin' the floor holdin' you.
2] Yer dad's still upstairs, sawin' wood;
Walkin' the floor would do him good.
He'll make him some mem'ries that'll last him once you're grown,
And meanwhile maybe I can do some sawin' of my own!
R} I'm walkin' the floor holdin' you,
You won't let me sleep, this is true;
I've fed you and I've changed you, now it's quarter after two--
Walkin' the floor holdin' you.
