Just A-Sittin' and A-Rockin' Songtext
von Duke Ellington and His Orchestra

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
