Rock the Cradle, Julie 2nd South Carolina String Band

[Verse 1]
I am my mama's darlin' boy
I am my mama's darlin' boy
I am my mama's darlin' boy
Sing a little tune called "Soldier's Joy"

[Verse 2]
A grasshopper sittin' on a sweet potato vine
A grasshopper sittin' on a sweet potato vine
A grasshopper sittin' on a sweet potato vine
Along come a chicken and says "He's mine!"

[Verse 3]
Well, rock that cradle, Julie
Rock that cradle, Julie
Rock that cradle, Julie
Don't let that baby cry

[Verse 4]
Rock that cradle, Julie
Rock that cradle, Julie
Rock that cradle, Julie
And keep that baby warm

[Verse 5]
I'm gonna get a drink, don't you wanna go?
I'm gonna get a drink, don't you wanna go?
I'm gonna get a drink, don't you wanna go?
Whole lot of soldier's joy
