The Lyrics
I actually wrote this while babysitting my niece, after watching her wear out HER mother...
1] I sprawl on my bed in a heap,
It's too long since I've had some sleep,
As I'm dozin' off, I hear the product of my womb
Demanding my presence from the comfort of her room.
R} I'm walkin' the floor holdin' you,
You won't let me sleep, this is true;
I've fed you and I've changed you, now it's quarter after two--
Walkin' the floor holdin' you.
2] Yer dad's still upstairs, sawin' wood;
Walkin' the floor would do him good.
He'll make him some mem'ries that'll last him once you're grown,
And meanwhile maybe I can do some sawin' of my own!
R} I'm walkin' the floor holdin' you,
You won't let me sleep, this is true;
I've fed you and I've changed you, now it's quarter after two--
Walkin' the floor holdin' you.
It's too long since I've had some sleep,
As I'm dozin' off, I hear the product of my womb
Demanding my presence from the comfort of her room.
R} I'm walkin' the floor holdin' you,
You won't let me sleep, this is true;
I've fed you and I've changed you, now it's quarter after two--
Walkin' the floor holdin' you.
2] Yer dad's still upstairs, sawin' wood;
Walkin' the floor would do him good.
He'll make him some mem'ries that'll last him once you're grown,
And meanwhile maybe I can do some sawin' of my own!
R} I'm walkin' the floor holdin' you,
You won't let me sleep, this is true;
I've fed you and I've changed you, now it's quarter after two--
Walkin' the floor holdin' you.

This is very well done. The pacing fits the original, perfectly. But, speaking from my own experience, it's difficult to get much response to these classic country tunes.
DKTOS, well written
GRRRR! Who gave me 3's?!?
