Just A‐Sittin’ and A‐Rockin’ Songtext
von Billy Strayhorn

I don′t go out walking
I ain't for no talking
My baby′s done 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
Don′t go out a walking
And I for no talking
My baby′s done left me
Just a sittin' and a rockin′

All day
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

I miss my lonely papa
If he don′t hurry and come back
It's a cinch to, I'll blow my toppa
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'

Rockin′ and a sittin'
Sittin′ and a rockin'
All day
