Ain't That A-Rocking

 

Mary had a little baby

All the babe lie hand

Every time the little baby cried

She'd rock him in a weary land

 

Ain't that a-rockin' all night

Ain't that a-rockin' all night

Ain't that a-rockin' all night

All night long

 

Wise men came from the East

Guided by a star

With gold, myrrh and frankincense

While she rocked him in a weary land

 

Ain't that a-rockin' all night

Ain't that a-rockin' all night

Ain't that a-rockin' all night

All night long

 

Herod heard the news

The baby he did seek

The Lord told Mary

Just you rock him in a weary land

 

Ain't that a-rockin' all night

Ain't that a-rockin' all night

Ain't that a-rockin' all night

All night long

 

Ain't that a-rockin' all night

Ain't that a-rockin' all night

Ain't that a-rockin' all night

All night long
