That Crawlin’ Baby Blues

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Heard a baby crying What do his mama mean Heard a baby crying What do his mama mean He's crying 'bout his sweet milk And she won't feed him Jersey cream [Verse 2] He crawled from the fireplace Stopped in the middle of the floor Well, he crawled from the fireplace Stopped in the middle of the floor Says, "Mama, ain't that your second daddy Standing back there in the door?" [Verse 3] Well she grabbed my baby, spanked him I tried to make her leave him alone She grabbed my baby, spanked him I tried to make her leave him alone I tried my best to stop her and she said "The babe ain't none of mine" [Verse 4] The woman rocks the cradle I declare she rules the home The woman rocks the cradle I declare she rules the home Married man rocks some other man's babe Fool thinks he is rockin' his own [Verse 5] Went out late last night when I Learnt the crawlin' baby's news I say, it was late last night when I Learnt the crawlin' baby news My woman threw my clothes outdoors Now I got the crawlin' baby blues
