She read me stories every night;
We said our prayers and she turned out the light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I was a child, I heard many things:
The sound of the flapping of a fairy\u2019s wings;
The sound of laughter from a baby\u2019s delight;
The sound of mockingbirds warbling at night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But now that I\u2019m grown, no sound can compare
To the creaking sound of that old rockin\u2019 chair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Rock me, Granny
Rock, rock, rock<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rock me, Granny
Please don\u2019t stop<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rock me, Granny
With a rockin\u2019 beat<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rock me, Granny
Rock me to sleep<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I sat on her lap as she held me tight
When Granny rocked me to sleep at night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Rock, rock, rock
Rockin\u2019 Granny<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rock, rock, rock
Rockin\u2019 Granny<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rock, rock, rock
Rockin\u2019 Granny<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rock me, Granny
Rock me to sleep<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I grew old, I had my own grandkids.
I\u2019d rock them and see their drooping eyelids.
I\u2019d tell each one \u201cThe sandman\u2019s coming, my dear;
Just close your eyes and he\u2019ll soon be here.\u201d
And, sure enough, the sandman came,
And when he got here, he\u2019d call me by name:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Hey, Rockin\u2019 Granny
Rock, rock, rock
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hey, Rockin\u2019 Granny,
Please don\u2019t stop<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rockin\u2019 Granny
With a rockin\u2019 beat<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rockin\u2019 Granny,
Rock them to sleep<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
