Lyrics

Mama, can I come to work with you? You know you can't I'm gon' drop you at Papa Joe's with your Uncle Paul Helping him work in the fields will make you big and strong When I'm big and strong, I'll build our house some steps Then you won't have to go 'round the back door no more That's my baby, that's my boy Char'es Baby, youngest of five The neighborhood baby, sweet as pecan pie Not just your baby, our baby too Skin like chocolate, sweet as honeydew Come give me sugar, chocolate Give me that chocolate sugar Look at me, look at me I'm a big boy, but I'm still Char'es Baby Stop What I'm doing? Showing off Don't worry, Charles, you just need to grow up 'Til then, your uncle needs you He almost like a child himself, though hе big and grown Now that Papa Joe dead and gone, hе in that big house alone Char'es Baby, youngest of five The neighborhood baby, sweet as pecan pie Not just your baby, our baby too Skin like chocolate, sweet as honeydew Come give me sugar, chocolate Give me that chocolate sugar Look at me, look at me I'm a big boy, but I'm still Char'es Baby That boy think he somethin', uh-huh Think he shittin' in high cotton, sho nuff Like his feet too good for this here earth
