(chorus)
What’ll I do with the baby-o? What’ll I do with the baby-o? What’ll I do with the baby-o If he won’t go to sleepy-o (verse) Take him to his mammy-o Take him to his mammy-o Take him to his mammy-o If he won’t go to sleepy-o (chorus) (verse) How in the world do the old folks know That I like sugar in my coffee-o? The wind blows high, the wind blows low. Blow some sugar in my coffee-o. (chorus) (verse) Had a little girl named Ida Red. She fell in love with a boy named Ned. Took my fist from my pocket-o And punched him in the belly-o (chorus) (verse) In the holler the cowbell rings, The bulldog barks and the jay bird sings. Sung so hard his throat got dry I’da liked to heard that jaybird cry (chorus) (verse) Had a little girl named Mary Lee And asked her if she’d marry me. She say’s “I like your manner Joe But I’ve gotta stay home with Granny-o” |

Almost heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River Life is old there, older than the trees Younger than the mountains, growin' like a breeze Country roads, take me home To the place I belong West Virginia, mountain mama Take me home, country roads All my memories gather 'round her Miner's lady, stranger to blue water Dark and dusty, painted on the sky Look at how the moon shines, teardrop in my eye |
