Reed, Jerry - Papa's Knee Lyrics






Rock-a-bye me old Sunday chair
Sing me a song was a long time back there
I sat on his lap sure felt good to be
Only a child on my papa's knee

Now Papa would sing a little off key
But he'd fill me with feelings of sweet harmony
Now I'd like to hear that old tune again
And rock to and fro in lullaby land

Doo doo doo da loo Papa would moan
Oh it takes me back to my childhood home
Doo doo doo da loo sweet harmony
Only a child on my papa’s knee

Now sometimes alone well I reminisce
Surrender my thoughts about loved ones I miss
I was so young still my memory
Won't let me forget how my papa rocked me

Doo doo doo da loo Papa would moan...

    Thank you so much! I was saddened when it was no longer here, and I am thrilled to find it back! My favorite of many wonderful Jerry Reed songs.

  5. 1.... ....

    I can't find the full pop goes the country episode, including this song and jerry performing Alabama jubilee. It must have been deleted or something because i last watched it a few months back.

    I hope maybe there is someone who can put it back on youtube, that would really make my day!

    Eric Johnson does a little Jerry Reed stuff in his video “Total Electric Guitar”, and this is one of the licks. I always wondered where it came from.
