Anticipation Blues - Tennessee Ernie Ford[00:00:00]
Written by:Travis[00:00:01]
She just got home from the doctor[00:00:06]
I just got home from the mill[00:00:09]
She looked a little peaked[00:00:12]
Her eyes were kinda streaked[00:00:14]
I couldn't figure out what made her ill[00:00:15]
She looked a little weepish[00:00:18]
Smiled kinda sheepish[00:00:20]
The answer hit me like a hickory mall[00:00:21]
I throwed my dinner bucket down[00:00:24]
Yelled like my trailin' hound[00:00:26]
I was gonna be a daddy after all[00:00:28]
Now the waitin'[00:00:31]
Anticipatin'[00:00:32]
Rock a bye I'm gonna be a daddy now[00:00:34]
Well the weeks went by kinda sweetly[00:00:46]
Then all at once I thought she'd lost her mind[00:00:50]
She would rant she would rave[00:00:53]
For the things she would crave[00:00:55]
Like ice cream and sauerkraut combined[00:00:56]
She wanted watermelon it was wintertime[00:00:59]
Dill pickles set around the house in jars[00:01:03]
My how she'd eat that stuff she never seemed to get enough[00:01:05]
And at 3am she'd want candy bars[00:01:08]
Oh the waitin'[00:01:12]
Anticipatin'[00:01:13]
Rock a bye I'm gonna be a daddy now[00:01:15]
Well at last the time was drawin' near[00:01:28]
I began to walk and pace and sweat[00:01:31]
The doctor said now son[00:01:34]
I know this ain't no fun[00:01:36]
But we ain't never lost a daddy yet[00:01:37]
I stood up and set down[00:01:40]
I even though of leavin' town[00:01:42]
The doctor and nurse came out all grins[00:01:43]
They said buck up my boy[00:01:46]
You should shout with joy[00:01:48]
You're the daddy of a pair of bouncin' twins[00:01:49]
No more waitin anticipatin'[00:01:52]
Rock a bye I'm a daddy now[00:01:56]
