Holding Hands 1906

James Pitt-Payne, LOndon UK - 28 Jun 2004

Sitting in the parlor,
nine o'clock at night,
spooning with the girl you love;
Talk about the weather,
then turn down the light,
everything is quiet up above.
Chairs keep moving closer
till at last you find,
there's room for both
inside the rocking chair;
heads are close together,
girlie doesn't mind,
rocking to and fro without a care.

Holding hands, holding hands,
you sigh, she sighs,
you sit side by side,
the moon looks on
and then he tries to hide,
'cause you are holding hands,
the clock is striking twelve out in the hall,
all the time you sit there holding hands,
and you don't say nothing at all.

Holding hands, holding hands,
you sigh, she sighs,
you sit side by side,
the moon looks on
and then he tries to hide,
'cause you are holding hands,
the clock is striking twelve out in the hall,
all the time you sit there holding hands,
and you don't say nothing at all.

Go to work next morning,
feeling kind of blue,
all you do is mope and sigh;
Think about your sweetheart,
don't know what to do,
wishing for the time to hurry by.
Call around that evening,
meet her at the door,
you both walk in the parlor just the same;
both sit in the rocker as you did before,
then commence to play the same old game.

Holding hands, holding hands,
you sigh, she sighs,
you sit side by side,
the moon looks on
and then he tries to hide,
'cause you are holding hands,
the clock is striking twelve out in the hall,
all the time you sit there holding hands,
and you don't say nothing at all.

Holding hands, holding hands,
you sigh, she sighs,
you sit side by side,
the moon looks on
and then he tries to hide,
'cause you are holding hands,
the clock is striking twelve out in the hall,
all the time you sit there holding hands,
and you don't say nothing at all.
