Sweet Baby
Well I got my purple shoes on,
And a tie that matches,
I’m headed to the party,
And I’m a-wondering if you’ll even see,
But where oh where can my baby be?
Well I met you in the autumn,
We loved until spring,
And now you say you want me,
But I can’t jump that fence that’ll make me free,
But where oh where can my baby be,
Well we had similarities,
We had our own defenses too,
I fell into you like a stone into the sea,
You fell like a boulder into me,
So where oh where can my baby be?
—————————————-
Now I don’t know how it happened,
But the light man must have capsized my fate,
And everyone else seems so happy,
And I’m here without a date,
—————————————-
But I got the fever sickness,
Down in my broken pockets,
The mangled sales call man,
He waits for me,
And I can’t stand here,
For any longer,
Wishin’ you would come back to me,
So where oh where can my baby be?
I waited for you when I was dyin’
Of malaria heartsickness by the sea,
I waited for you when you,
Couldn’t stand me,
But I waited for you,
In all your female moments,
How many troubles they did to me,
So where oh where can my baby be?
You are the mirror I base my self on,
Or should I say that you,
Were what stirred me to look from me,
What I see now is just a girl,
In a woman’s costume,
The kind you buy for a penny,
At the corner store by the emerald tree,
So where oh where can my baby be?
———————————
Now I know that I love you
But sometimes it gets so stirring,
To live on the shore of distance,
With the sun constantly whirling,
So I’ll just grab my banjo and play,
until my fingers start to bleed,
The way my heart hurts,
It’ll never again plant a seed,
So where oh where can my baby be?
————————————
Thank you to the man who helped me make this melody.
Piaciuto o affrontato da...
