Take your rest, daddy
Come and lie down here
Let me twirl your ruby hair
And whisper in your ear
Take your rest, daddy
For the day ain' done
We'll be goin' on dancing
'Till the morning sun
Take your rest, daddy
Sho' nuff take your time
We got somethin' good right here
In each other's mind
Take your rest, daddy
Hold on me tight
Gonna fix up baby now
For your dinner tonight
Take your rest, daddy
Sho' nuff take your time
We got somethin' good right here
In each other's mind
Take your rest, daddy
Let me ease your load
Tomorrow we'll go flag a train
And get back on the road
Take your rest, daddy
Sho' nuff take your time
We got somethin' good right here
In each other's mind
