Just a-Sittin' and a-Rockin' (with Duke Ellington & His Orchestra)
Don't go out walking
I ain't for no talking
My baby's gone and left me
Just a-sittin' and a-rockin'
If I had been scheming
Instead of just dreaming
He'd never have left me
Just a-sittin' and a-rockin'
Sittin' all day without holding my baby
Makes me so blue and sad
If he don't hurry and come back
It's a cinch to drive me mad
If I don't find him
I hope you'll remind him
That I'm staying where he left me
Just a-sittin' and a-rockin'
Sittin' all day without holding my baby
Makes me so blue and sad
If he don't hurry and come back
It's a cinch to drive me mad
If I don't find him
I hope you'll remind him
That I'm staying where he left me
Just a-sittin' and a-rockin', all day
I ain't for no talking
My baby's gone and left me
Just a-sittin' and a-rockin'
If I had been scheming
Instead of just dreaming
He'd never have left me
Just a-sittin' and a-rockin'
Sittin' all day without holding my baby
Makes me so blue and sad
If he don't hurry and come back
It's a cinch to drive me mad
If I don't find him
I hope you'll remind him
That I'm staying where he left me
Just a-sittin' and a-rockin'
Sittin' all day without holding my baby
Makes me so blue and sad
If he don't hurry and come back
It's a cinch to drive me mad
If I don't find him
I hope you'll remind him
That I'm staying where he left me
Just a-sittin' and a-rockin', all day
