I love my baby I've loved him so long I love my baby I've loved him since he was born Now, sweet baby is gone And done me, oh, so wrong I love you baby Tell the whole wide world there's nothing I wouldn't do Long live my crying tongue Tell the whole wide world there's nothing I wouldn't do Come on back baby Now understand Come on my baby Why you walked away in the rain? Come back and hold me And take me by my hand Come back baby and take me by the hand Don't you know I love you baby Don't you understand, no Just say you love me And we'll go to the preacherman Just say you love me And before him we'll stand We'll live our lives together As we go hand in hand Just say you love me We'll go to the preacherman Don't you know I love you baby Long live my crying tongue And we'll live our lives together As we go hand in hand
