Baby-O
©1990 Andrew Calhoun, recorded on Where Blue Meets Blue.
Chorus:
Baby-o, baby-o,
When will I see my baby-o
She's railroad bound for a Southern town
Be there when the sun goes down
She wouldn't say why, wouldn't say what
Case was closed when the door was shut
Steel wheels spinning 'round the bend
Who knows where the trouble ends
Love's a temporary thing
Pawn it with a wedding ring
It's easy go, and so she went
Out the door like last month's rent
Gone's the child I adore
In the arms of a woman that I don't no more
I hope she will keep a little warm glow
From a no good man that her mama used to know
