Rock Me Back to Little Rock

(Lola Jean Dillon)



I was young when I left you and daddy

There was a world outside I had to see

Mama I've sure been a lot of places

But Little Rock still looks the best to me.



Oh, rock me back to Little Rock mama

Rock me let me be there in my dreams awhile

Where the men don't try to take advantage

Of every woman who smiles.



Sing me a little rock-a-bye-baby

Just the way you used to do

Mama this old world ouside does hurt me so

Rock me back to Little Rock with you.



--- Instrumental ---



I couldn't wait to get away from Little Rock

For I thought Little Rock was a little square

But if I ever save enough money

I'll swing it right on back and settle there.



Oh, rock me back to Little Rock mama

Rock me let me be there in my dreams awhile

Where the men don't try to take advantage

Of every woman who smiles.



Sing me a little rock-a-bye-baby

Just the way you used to do

Mama this old world ouside does hurt me so

Rock me back to Little Rock with you...
