Baby Boy

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.
Chorus:
Baby Boy, Baby Boy
Sweet Charlie, you’re my Big ole Baby Boy.
Well, you’re my life
And you’re my joy;
You’re my precious bedtime toy.
Sweet Charlie, you’re my Big ole 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.»
(Chorus)
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.
(Chorus)
