BABY BOY
(Mary Kay Place)


Mary Kay Place - 1976





Well, I never will forget the first time that we met
Dancin' squares and a do-si-do-in' at the V.F. Hall
He was old as my pappy, but that didn't make me unhappy
He was cute as the dickens, just a doll

Had no hair on your head, but a lot above your lip
You was all dressed up in cowboy corduroy
Felt my soul start a thrashin' and my heart-strings a lashin'
I knew I had found my Baby Boy

Baby Boy, Baby Boy
Sweet Charlie, you're my big ol' Baby Boy
Well, you're my life and you're my joy
You're my precious bedtime toy
Sweet Charlie, you're my big ol' Baby Boy

Later on that night you asked me would it be all right
If you took me for a bit to the Tas-tee Freeze
Well, we shared some chunky tuna, then we kissed under the moon-a
And I knew forever we'd be thick as fleas

And then quicker than a wink I said, "Now, Baby Boy, I think
It's time we tied the knot, said nupital vows"
My folks cried, "Cradle robber!", I said, "Please, he's my heart-throbber
The Lord wants us together here and now"

Baby Boy, Baby Boy
Sweet Charlie, you're my big ol' Baby Boy
Well, you're my life and you're my joy
You're my precious bedtime toy
Sweet Charlie, you're my big ol' Baby Boy)

Ev'ry single day I count my blessings and I say
"Thank you, Lord for sending me my Baby Boy"
Life with him's a pleasure and there's no way I can measure
All the love I feel inside for Baby Boy

And I just found out today that our baby's on the way
An expression of our love and of our joy
Well, a girl would be delightin' and, oh, it sure would be excitin'
To have my Baby Boy's baby boy

Baby Boy, Baby Boy
Sweet Charlie, you're my big ol' Baby Boy
Well, you're my life and you're my joy
You're my precious bedtime toy
Sweet Charlie, you're my big ol' Baby Boy
