Rockabye (Acoustic Version)

She works the nights by the water

She's gone astray so far away

From her father's daughter

She just wants a life 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

And no, mama, you never shed a tear

'Cause you have to set things year after year

You give the youth love beyond compare

You find the school fee and the bus fare

Mmm, or when pops disappear

In the wrong bar, can't find him nowhere

Now she's got a 6-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
