Just A-Sittin' And A-Rockin' (Live (7/29/64-Cote D'Azur))

Thank you so much
I know I should go out
Be seen here and there
But my friends have found out
My baby don't care

I don't go out walking
And I ain't for no talking
'Cause my baby has left me
Just a-sittin' and a-rockin'

If I had been scheming
Instead of just dreaming
He'd never have left me
Just a-sittin' and a-rockin'

Sittin' all day without holding my baby
Makes me so blue and sad
If he don't hurry and come back
It's a cinch to drive me mad

Now if I don't find him
I hope you'll remind him
That I'm staying where he left me
Just a-sittin' and a-rockin', all day
(Roy Eldridge, ladies and gentlemen)

Sittin' all day without holding my baby
Makes me so blue and sad
If he don't hurry and come back
It's a cinch to drive me mad

I said, don't hold me back
Now if I don't go and find him
I hope you'll remind him
That I'm sittin' where he left me
Just a-sittin' and a-rockin'
Just a-sittin' and a-rockin', all day

(Roy Eldridge)
