Bombs are dropping, smoke fills the air I wanna duck and cover but I've gotta stay out here 'Cause I know myself and if I hole up in my room I'll be consumed by the doom and the gloom So I call John cause I know he knows sorrow He says "I'll be in the city tomorrow" So I go down and I watch him sing And the way he sings sends a chill right through me Yeah, and now there's a mountain goat Precariously balanced on the frog stuck in my throat It says "Sometimes whispering's ok But maybe you'd feel better if you screamed today" The lady took the baby I know she loves the baby But the baby has a daddy and and his daddy loves him, too How could she take the baby, maybe she's gone crazy She won't share, it's not fair, there's nothing I can do The lady took the baby I know she loves the baby But the baby has a daddy and and his daddy loves him, too How could she take the baby, maybe she's gone crazy She won't share, it's not fair, there's nothing I can do Tuesday night grandma curled up in my bed By Wednesday morning, my grandma was dead I was in Charlotte, I took the bus home Her shoes, watch and teeth were still in my room And as I lay me down to sleep, I felt her spirit rise up through me She said "I got to live a long 86 years, dry your tears I know it's hard but please let go so I can meet your grandpa in the undertow Chin up, girl, you've gotta be strong and know when you're singing I'm singing along" The lady took the baby I know she loves the baby But the baby has a daddy and and his daddy loves him, too How could she take the baby, maybe she's gone crazy She won't share, it's not fair, there's nothing I can do The lady took the baby I know she loves the baby But the baby has a daddy and and his daddy loves him, too How could she take the baby, maybe she's gone crazy She won't share, it's not fair, there's nothing I can do Little bitty baby, so far away, we hope that you can come home soon When we're not together, now or ever, always remember I love you Little bitty baby, so far away, we hope that you can come home soon When we're not together, now or ever, always remember I love you
