lyrics

*The Baby
Tin roof rusted now, tin roof rusted now
Tin roof rusted, the old man’s been busted now

Oh I held the baby in my hand
I held the baby in my hand
The baby was so tiny
It fit in the palm of my hand

And the wind did howl and the wind did moan
Oh dear darlin’ you’re not alone
The wind did howl and the wind did moan
Oh dear darlin’ you’re not alone

Oh the devil came between she and I
Oh on the floor I did lie
Why did they take her?
What did they say?
Why did they take her?
Take her away, take her away….

Oh I was swimming with the birds
I was swimming with the birds
And out of a dark forest I heard words
Oh, Sing on sweet stranger

Oh the devil came between she and I
Oh on the floor I did lie
Why did they take her?
What did they say?
Why did they take her?
Take her away, take her away….
