Lyrics

That baby of mine ©Bruce Wozny 1999

when I feel sad enough to drown in the river / or desperate enough to commit a crime
I whisper her name and put down my pistol /'cause I still get a thrill from that baby of mine

when the factories close and send us all packing / when I’ve picked up my pay for the very last time
I’ll be out in the cold and I won’t have no money / but I’ll still get a thrill from that baby of mine

that baby of mine is as gentle and free / as the wind that whispers in the tops of the trees
the sweet rain that falls / the night bird that calls
or the sweet love we share inside these four walls

now in this wide world are rivers and forests / valleys to walk and mountains to climb
though I’ve stood at the top and crawled at the bottom / I’ll still get a thrill from that baby of mine
