bombs are dropping, smoke fills the air
|
i wanna duck and cover but i've gotta stay out here
|
'cause i know myself and if i hole up in my room
|
i'll be consumed by the doom and the gloom
|
|
so i called john 'cause i know he knows sorrow
|
he said "i'll be in the city tomorrow"
|
so i go down and i watch him sing
|
and the way he sings sends a chill right through me, yeah
|
|
and now there's a mountain goat
|
precariously balanced on the frog stuck in my throat
|
it says "sometimes whispering's okay,
|
but maybe you'd feel better if you screamed today"
|
|
the lady took the baby
|
i know she loves the baby
|
but the baby has a daddy
|
and his daddy loves him too
|
how could she take the baby?
|
maybe she's gone crazy
|
she won't share
|
it's not fair
|
there's nothing i can do
|
|
the lady took the baby
|
i know she loves the baby
|
but the baby has a daddy
|
and his daddy loves him too
|
how could she take the baby?
|
maybe she's gone crazy
|
she won't share
|
it's not fair
|
there's nothing i can do
|
|
tuesday night grandma curled up in my bed
|
by wednesday morning my grandma was dead
|
i was in charlotte, i took the bus home
|
her shoes, watch, and teeth were still in my room
|
|
and as i lay me down to sleep i felt her spirit rise up through me
|
she said "i got to live a long eighty six years, dry your tears.
|
i know it's hard but please let go so i can meet your grandpa in the undertow
|
chin up girl, you've got to be strong, and know when you're singing i'm singing along"
|
|
the lady took the baby
|
i know she loves the baby
|
but the baby has a daddy
|
and his daddy loves him too
|
how could she take the baby?
|
maybe she's gone crazy
|
she won't share
|
it's not fair
|
there's nothing i can do
|
|
the lady took the baby
|
i know she loves the baby
|
but the baby has a daddy
|

|
maybe she's gone crazy
|
she won't share
|
it's not fair
|
there's nothing i can do
|
|
little bitty baby so far away
|
we hope that you can come home soon
|
when we're not together, now or ever
|
always remember i love you
|
|
little bitty baby so far away
|
we hope that you can come home soon
|
when we're not together, now or ever
|
always remember i love you
