Peek-A-Boo

by Uncle Dave Macon

on Classic Sides 1924-1938 (2004), Over The Mountain (1935-1938) Volume II (1987)

On a cold winter's eve, when business is done
And to your home you return
What a pleasure it is to have a bright bouncing boy
On that you love to admire

You'll hug him, you'll kiss him, You'll press him to your heart
What joy to the bosom it will bring
Then you'll place him on the carpet and hide behind the desk
And to please him you'll commence to sing

Oh, Peek a boo, coos coochee coo
Come from behind the chair
Oh, Peek a boo, you rascal you
I see you hiding there

When I am away from my home and at work
He's at home with his momma's care so dear
All the whole day long you can hear his little song
Echoing so calm and so clear

His playthings on the floor
He's happy evermore, what joy to his momma's heart he brings
Then you'll find him on the carpet and watching at the door
For me when I come home to sing

Oh, Peek a boo, you rascal you
Come from behind the chair
Oh, Peek a boo, I see you
I see you hiding there
