OUR BABY'S GONE
Herb Pedersen


I put our little baby to bed last night
She was sleeping real good and I tucked her in tight
I looked at her once then I looked at her twice
Her little legs are longer and I'm runnin' out of time
The boys are gonna chase her I'll be standing in line
Our baby's gone

Up at 7:30 she comes into our room
She wants to make her breakfast but she can't find her spoon
We wake up and try to shake the sandman out of our eyes
She's already got her clothes on much to our surprise
She did it all herself and we realize
Our baby's gone

Three years old and she's queen of the world
Humpty Dumpty's falling down
Little Jack Horner's on the boredom border
Oh, mama what do we do now

Instrumental (Zither and Pedal Steel Guitar)

Playing outside her little face to the wind
The hours go by her strength is wearin' thin
She doesn't call for daddy she's a big girl now
Her mama looks in wonder and she don't know how
How our baby girl escaped us no more cuddlin' now
Our baby's gone

Three years old and she's queen of the world
Humpty Dumpty's falling down
Little Jack Horner's on the boredom border
Oh, mama what do we do now
Our baby's gone
Our baby's gone
