Verse 1
(D major) (B minor) (D major) (B minor) (D major) (B minor) (D major) (D major)
She just got home from the doctor's
I (G major) just got home from the (D major) mill
She (G major) looked a little peaked,
her (D major) eyes were (B major) kind- a streaked
I (E major) couldn't figure out what (B minor) made her (A major) ill
She (D major) looked a little weepish, smiled
kinda sheepish
The (G major) answer hit me like a hickory (D major) mall
I throwed my (G major) dinner bucket down
Yelled like (A major) my (D major) trailin' hound (B minor) I
was (E major) gonna be a (A major) daddy after (D major) all
Verse 2
Now the (G major) waitin'
Anticip (D major) atin' (B minor)
(D major) Rock- a- bye
I'm (A major) gonna be a daddy (D major) now!

Interlude 1
(B minor) (D major) (G major) (D major) (B major)
(E major) (A major) (D major)
Verse 3
Well the weeks (D major) went by kinda sweetly,
then all at once
I thought she'd lost (D major) her mind
She would (G major) rant, she would rave,
for the (D major) things she would crave (B major)
Like ice (E major) cream and sauerkraut
(A major) combined
She (D major) wanted watermelon,
it was wintertime
Dill (G major) pickles set around the house in jars (D major)
My how (G major) she'd eat that stuff,
she never (D major) seemed to get enough
(B minor) And at (E major) (A major) 3am she'd want candy (D major) bars
Oh,
Verse 4
Now the (G major) waitin'
Anticipat (D major) in' (B minor)
(D major) Rock- a- bye
I'm gonna (A major) be a daddy (D major) now!
Interlude 2
(B minor)
(D major) (G major) (D major) (B minor) (E major) (A major)
(D major)
Verse 5
Well at last (D major) the time was drawin' near,
I (G major) began to walk and pace (D major) and sweat
The (G major) doctor said: Now son,
I (D major) know this ain't no (B major) fun
But we (E major) ain't never lost a Daddy (A major) yet
I stood (D major) up and set down,
I even though of leavin' town
The (G major) doctor and nurse came out (D major) all grins
They said: (G major) Buck up my boy (A major) you
should (D major) shout with (B major) joy,
You're the (E major) Daddy (A major) of a pair
of bouncin' (D major) twins!
Verse 6
No more (G major) waitin, anticipat (D major) in' rock- a- bye,
I'm a (A major) Daddy now!
(D major)
