Anticipation Blues - Tennessee Ernie Ford[00:00:00]
Written by:Tennessee Ernie Ford/Cliffie Stone[00:00:01]
She just got home from the doctor's[00:00:07]
I just got home from the mill[00:00:10]
She looked a little peaked[00:00:13]
Her eyes were kind a streaked[00:00:15]
I couldn't figure out what made her ill[00:00:17]
She looked a little weepish[00:00:20]
Smiled kinda sheepish[00:00:22]
The answer hit me like a hickory mall[00:00:23]
I throwed my dinner bucket down[00:00:26]
Yelled like my trailin' hound[00:00:28]
I was gonna be a daddy after all[00:00:30]
Now the waiting[00:00:33]
Anticipatin'[00:00:35]
Rock a bye[00:00:37]
I'm gonna be a daddy now[00:00:38]
The weeks went by kinda sweetly[00:00:44]
Then all at once[00:00:47]
I thought she'd lost her mind[00:00:48]
She would rant she would rave[00:00:50]
For the things she would crave[00:00:52]
Like ice cream and sauerkraut combined[00:00:54]
She wanted watermelon it was wintertime[00:00:58]
Dill pickles set around the house in jars[00:01:01]
My how she'd eat that stuff[00:01:05]
She never seemed to get enough[00:01:06]
And at 3am she'd want candy bars[00:01:08]
Oh[00:01:11]
Now the waiting[00:01:11]
Anticipatin'[00:01:13]
Rock a bye[00:01:15]
I'm gonna be a daddy now[00:01:16]
Well at last the time was drawin' near[00:01:22]
I began to walk and pace and sweat[00:01:25]
The doctor said now son[00:01:29]
I know this ain't no fun[00:01:30]
But we ain't never lost a daddy yet[00:01:32]
I stood up and set down[00:01:35]
I even though of leavin' town[00:01:37]
The doctor and nurse came out all grins[00:01:39]
They said buck up my boy[00:01:42]
You should shout with joy[00:01:44]
You're the daddy of a pair of bouncin' twins[00:01:46]
No more waiting anticipatin'[00:01:49]
Rock a bye I'm a daddy now[00:01:52]
