Lyrics:
Rock me baby, rock me all night long
Rock me baby, honey rock me all night long
I want you to rock me baby
Like my back ain’t got no bone

Rock me baby
Honey i want you to rock me slow
Rock me baby
Honey i want you to rock me slow
Want you to rock me baby
Till i want no more

Rock me baby
Like you roll a wagon wheel
Roll me baby
Like you roll a wagon wheel
I want you to roll me baby
You don’t know how that makes me feel

Rock me baby
Honey rock me all night long
Rock me, rock me, rock me, rock me, baby
Honey rock me all night long
I want you to rock me baby
Like my back ain’t got no bone
