Cryin' like a Baby (1975) - Jackson C. Frank

Crying like a baby

In my Momma’s arms

The day they came to tell me

You were gone

What have you done to me

You did not do before?

I had you standing right next to me

On the floor

Well, we sang in the same places

We were a double draw

And the folks came to see us

Had it all

But they took you to some stony place

And they broke your double jaw

Now the pieces of its ivory

Line the wall

With cold iron in the fireplace

And pictures of the war

Well I guess it’s dying a peaceful death

So far

Yes I guess it’s dying a peaceful death

So far

Crying like a baby

In my Momma’s arms

The day they came to tell me

You were gone

You were gone

You were gone
