Ella Fitzgerald - Ella Fitzgerald Sings The Duke Ellington Song Book

Just A-Sittin' and A-Rockin'

I don't go out walkin'
I ain't for no talkin'
My baby's done left me
Just a-sittin' and a-rockin'

If I had been schemin'
Instead of just dreamin'
He'd never have left me
Just a-sittin' and a-rockin'

Sittin' all day without holdin' my baby
Ah, 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 stayin' where he left me
Just a-sittin' and a-rockin' all day

Don't go out a-walking
And I ain't for no talkin'
Just a-sittin' and a-rockin' all day

If I had been schemin'
Instead of just dreamin'
He'd never have left me
Just a-sittin' and a-rockin'

Sittin' all day without holdin' my baby
I miss my lonely papa
If he don't hurry and come back
It's a cinch too, I'll blow my toppa

Now, if I don't find him
I hope you'll remind him
That I'm stayin' where he left me
Just a-sittin' and a-rockin'
Rockin' and a-sittin'
Sittin' and a-rockin' all day
