about

When I watched the film 'O brother where art thou?' by the Cohen brother I was sold on Bluegrass. Had to write me one of my own.

lyrics

Ch
Oh Rock me baby, rock me darlin
Wont you rock me too and Fro
Well he was so strong Daddy
Too Strong Daddy for me

VS1
Well just the other night thought the feeling was right
That he would rock me too and fro
But he was so strong Daddy, too Strong Daddy for me
But he was so damned strong when he spun me around
I landed high in a tree
Oh he was that strong Daddy
Too strong daddy for me

Ch
So Rock me baby, rock me darlin
Wont you rock me too and Fro
Well he was so strong Daddy
Too Strong Daddy for me

Br
They were playing guitar in a smoky old bar
In a good ol’southern way
It was a night on the town, when he swung me around he said
That kid really knows how to play

VS2
Well he said come a little closer a little bit closer
Wanna feel your breath on my lips
The music slows down
They’re closing the town for the night
He says one last twirl for a beautiful girl
And I will rock you too and fro
But he was…(wait for count in, back to tempo)
…so strong daddy
Too strong daddy for me

Ch x 2
So Rock me baby, rock me darlin
Wont you rock me too and Fro
Well he was so strong Daddy
Too Strong Daddy for me
