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...
