Lullaby Yodel
Merlin Mitchell: Where do you live?
Child: With Paw.
MM: Where does Paw live?
Child: With Maw.
MM: Where does Maw live?
Child: (murmur) . . . Point.
MM: What’s that last?
Alvis Wood: Terrapin Point
Child: (babbling)
MM: The next song is “Lullaby Yodel”
My baby I want you tonight dear
After my work is through
To rock you to sleep in my arms dear
And sing lullabies to you
Why did she take you away from my arms?
Leave nothing to cherish there
She left me so blue when she took you too
Seems more than I could bear
(Yodeling)
My baby you know that I want you
It’s lonely night and day
Your deep blue eyes, how they haunt me
Although you’re far away
Your future would be the chief theme of my life
We’ll never know what it meansMy plans and my schemes are all blasted it seems
That you are mine only in dreams
(Yodeling)
