Just a Settin' and a Rockin' - Ben Webster, Duke Ellington And His Famous Orchestra, Ben Webster, Duke Ellington and His Famous Orchestra

I don’t go out walking

I ain’t for no talking

My baby’s done 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

Now 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

Don’t go out a walking

And I for no talking

My baby’s done left me

Just a sittin' and a rockin'

All day

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

I miss my lonely papa

If he don’t hurry and come back

It’s a cinch to, I’ll blow my toppa

Now 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'

Rockin' and a sittin'

Sittin' and a rockin'

All day
