Buffy Sainte-Marie's ''Old Man's Lament''

One mornin' out walking

Out grovin' and ramblin

Down by the cold river, I joggled along

I heard an old man making sad lamentation

About rocking the cradle and a child not his own

Lie there, my laddy

Lie easy, lie easy

Perhaps your own daddy might never be own

And it's weary I am with weeping and sobbing

And rocking a cradle and a child not my own

I'm sorry, my neighbors..

I've married this fair one

She favors the neighbors

And none of her own

She goes out every night

Goes to bars, goes to parties

Leaves me rocking the cradle

And it's none of my own..

Hi there, my laddy..

Lie easy, lie easy

Perhaps your own daddy might never be known

And it's weary I am with weeping and sobbing

And rocking the cradle,

And it's none of my own

So come all ye young men

Who want to get married

Take my advice,

"Leave the womens alone"

For it's by the lord

If ever ye marry

She'll leave you rocking the cradle

And it's none of your own!
