Lyrics
I love my baby
I've loved him so long
I love my baby
I've loved him since he was born
Now, sweet baby is gone
And done me oh, so wrong
I love you, baby
Tell the whole wide world I do
Lord, help my crying 'til
I tell the whole wide world I do, Lord
Come on back, baby
Now I understand
Come on back, baby
Why are you up to wait in rain?
Come back and hold me
And take me by my hand
Come on back, daddy, and take me by the hand
Don't you know I love you, baby?
Don't you understand? No
Just say you love me
And we'll go to the preacherman
Just say you love me
And before him we'll stand
We'll live our lives together
As we go hand in hand
Just say you love me
We'll go to the preacherman
Don’t you know I love you, baby?
No, I left my crying time
And we'll live our lives together
As we go hand in hand
