[Verse 1]
[D][Bm][D][Bm][D][Bm][D][D]
She just got home from the doctor's
I [G]just got home from the [D]mill
She [G]looked a little peaked,
her [D]eyes were [B]kind- a streaked
I [E]couldn't figure out what [Bm]made her [A]ill
She [D]looked a little weepish, smiled
kinda sheepish
The [G]answer hit me like a hickory [D]mall
I throwed my [G]dinner bucket down
Yelled [A]like my [D]trailin' hound [Bm]I
was [E]gonna be a [A]daddy after [D]all

[Verse 2]
Now the [G]waitin'
Anticip[D]atin'[Bm]
[D]Rock- a- bye
I'm [A]gonna be a [D]daddy now!

[Interlude 1]
[Bm][D][G][D][B]
[E][A][D]

[Verse 3]
Well the [D]weeks went by kinda sweetly,
then all at once
I thought she'd lost [D]her mind
She would [G]rant, she would rave,
for the [D]things she would [B]crave
Like [E]ice cream and sauerkraut
[A]combined
She [D]wanted watermelon,
it was wintertime
[G]Dill pickles set around the house in [D]jars
My [G]how she'd eat that stuff,
she never [D]seemed to get enough
[Bm]And at 3[E]am s[A]he'd want candy bars[D]
Oh,

[Verse 4]
Now the [G]waitin'
Anticipat[D]in'[Bm]
[D]Rock- a- bye
I'm gonna [A]be a [D]daddy now!

[Interlude 2]
[Bm]

[Verse 5]
Well at [D]last the time was drawin' near,
I [G]began to walk and pace [D]and sweat
The [G]doctor said: Now son,
I [D]know this ain't no [B]fun
But we [E]ain't never lost a Daddy [A]yet
I stood [D]up and set down,
I even though of leavin' town
The [G]doctor and nurse came out [D]all grins
They [G]said: Buck up my [A]boy you
should [D]shout with [B]joy,
You're the [E]Daddy [A]of a pair
of bouncin' [D]twins!

[Verse 6]
No more [G]waitin, anticipat[D]in' rock- a- bye,
I'm a [A]Daddy now!
[D]
