Текст песни: Anticipation Blues + перевод

She just got home from the doctor’s

I just got home from the mill

She looked a little peaked, her eyes were kind-a streaked

I couldn’t figure out what made her ill

She looked a little weepish, smiled kinda sheepish

The answer hit me like a hickory mall

I throwed my dinner bucket down

Yelled like my trailin' hound I was gonna be a daddy after all

Now the waitin'

Anticipatin'

Rock-a-bye

I’m gonna be a daddy now!

Well the weeks went by kinda sweetly, then all at once

I thought she’d lost her mind

She would rant, she would rave, for the things she would crave

Like ice cream and sauerkraut combined

She wanted watermelon, it was wintertime

Dill pickles set around the house in jars

My how she’d eat that stuff, she never seemed to get enough

And at 3am she’d want candy bars

Oh

Now the waitin'

Anticipatin'

Rock-a-bye

I’m gonna be a daddy now!

Well at last the time was drawin' near, I began to walk and pace and sweat

The doctor said: Now son, I know this ain’t no fun

But we ain’t never lost a Daddy yet

I stood up and set down, I even though of leavin' town

The doctor and nurse came out all grins

They said: Buck up my boy you should shout with joy

You’re the Daddy of a pair of bouncin' twins!

No more waitin, anticipatin' rock-a-bye, I’m a Daddy now!
