All Babies Must Cry

If your baby don’t cry
Tell you what you got to do
Take her down to the river side
And hold her so close to you
Tell her the river is longer than wide
Runs right out into the sea
And some day, baby, you will die
Never to come back to me
Cry, cry, cry, little baby
Cry, cry, cry, little baby
Cry, cry, little baby
All babies must cry
If your baby don’t cry
Tell you where you got to go
Take her up to the mountain high
And see the river winding far below
Now if the river bend was to burn
The water will all turn to steam
And my little baby, you will ris
Only to come back to me
Cry, cry, cry, little baby
Cry, cry, cry, littl baby
Cry, cry, little baby
All babies must cry
If your baby don’t cry
Tell you what you got to do
Take her down to the river side
Now hold her so close to you…
