Papa's Knee

(Album: Sincerely, Brenda Lee - 1975)

To-a lu a lu a lu sweet harmony
Only a child on my Papa's knee
Rock-a-bye man, rock-a-bye song
Papa would sing, I'd hum along
I'd climb on his lap and he'd sing to me
Only a child on my Papa's knee

Now Papa would sing, a little off key
But filled me with feelings of sweet harmony
How I'd like to hear that old tune again
And rock to and fro in lullaby land

To-a lu a lu a lu Papa would moan
Oh takes me back to my childhood home
To-a lu a lu a lu sweet harmony
Only a child on my Papa's knee

Now sometimes alone
I remises, surrender my thoughts about love ones I miss
A child so young
I love to think of this
And I can recall how Papa rocked me

To-a lu a lu a lu Papa would moan
Oh takes me back to my childhood home
To-a lu a lu a lu sweet harmony
Only a child on my Papa's knee
