She Finally Rocked You Out Of Her Mind

(album: Cowboys Ain't Supposed To Cry - 1977)

Papa it's so good to see you seeing you off of the wine
Papa you barely miss mama she won't try to hold you this time
One day her tears did stop falling she gave up on walking the floor
She just sat down in her rocker and never got up anymore

Papa some people just came and took mama
She was rocked in on that old rocking chair
It seemed like mama just couldn't stop rocking
And her green Irish eyes held the stare

Mama was humming a tune someone taught her
An old Irish lullaby
It hurts me to say it but I've got to tell you
She finally rocked you out of her mind

Papa some people just came and took mama
She was rocked in on that old rocking chair
It seemed like mama just couldn't stop rocking
And her green Irish eyes held the stare...
