Rocking the Cradle My project in Vector Illustration with a Surrealist Twist course

Inspired by this song
Buffy Sainte-Marie's ''Old Man's Lament''

One mornin' out walking
Out grovin' and ramblin
Down by the cold river, I joggled along
I heard an old man making sad lamentation
About rocking the cradle and a child not his own

Lie there, my laddy
Lie easy, lie easy
Perhaps your own daddy might never be own
And it's weary I am with weeping and sobbing
And rocking a cradle and a child not my own

I'm sorry, my neighbors..
I've married this fair one
She favors the neighbors
And none of her own
She goes out every night
Goes to bars, goes to parties
Leaves me rocking the cradle
And it's none of my own..

Hi there, my laddy..
Lie easy, lie easy
Perhaps your own daddy might never be known
And it's weary I am with weeping and sobbing
And rocking the cradle,
And it's none of my own

So come all ye young men
Who want to get married
Take my advice,
"Leave the womens alone"
For it's by the lord
If ever ye marry
She'll leave you rocking the cradle
And it's none of your own!
