Little
Baby
Little
baby Lying in her mother’s arms
Mamma
keeps baby warm and away from harm
Daddy’s
working for more pay
Doesn’t
want to be so grey
Just
in case his lover she leaves her man today.
What’ll
I do for you?
What’ll
I do for you?
Daddy’s
sitting picking at a plate of food
Mamma
wants to leave if only she could now
Soon
the tempers start to fly
Blood
is coming from mamma’s eye
Tell
me why they do not hear their baby cry
What’ll
I do for you?
What’ll
I do for you?
One-day
baby wakes and her daddy’s gone
Mamma
sitting listening to her saddest song now
Said
she’s felling safe at night
Hides
her face keeps it out of sight
Tell
me why she cry’s if every things all right?
Tell
me why now tell me why she cry’s if everything all right
Tell
me why she’s crying now
What’ll
I do for you?
What’ll
I do for you?
