cryin' like a baby

crying like a baby

in my momma's arms

the day they came to tell me

you were gone

what have you done to me

you did not do before

i had you standing right next to me

on the floor

well

we sang in the same places

we were a double-draw

and the folks came to see us

had it all

but they took you to some stony place

and they broke your double-jaw

now the pieces of its ivory

line the wall

with cold iron in the fireplace

and pictures on the wall

well i guess it's a-dying peacefully

so far

yes

i guess it's dying peacefully

so far

crying like a baby

in my momma's arms

the day they came to tell me

you were gone

you were gone

you were gone
