[D]My b[D/F#]rother [G]said that I,[A] was rotten to the[D] core.
[D]I wa[D/F#]s the youn[G]gest child, [Em7] so I got by with mo[A]re.
[D]I guess[D/F#] she was t[G]ired by,[A] the time I came [D]along.
[D]She'd l[D/F#]augh un[G]til she cried,[Em7] I could do no wr[A]ong.
[Em7]She would always save me[A], because I was her[D] baby.
I worked a fa[Bm]ctory in Ohio, a shrim[G]p boat in the Bayou,
[D]I drove a truck in Birming[A]ham.
Turned [Bm]21 in Cincinnati,I c[G]alled home to mom and daddy,
[D]I said "Your boy is now a m[A]an."
She said "I [Em7]don't care if you're 80,[A] you'll always be my ba[D]by."
[D]She lov[D/F#]ed tha[G]t photograph,[A] of our whole fa[D]mily.
[D]She'd al[D/F#]ways p[G]oint us out,[Em7] for all her friends to [A]see.
[D]That's G[D/F#]reg he's d[G]oing great[A], he really loves his [D]job.
[D]And Ronn[D/F#]ie with h[G]is 2 kids,[Em7] how 'bout that wife he's go[A]t.
And that one'[Em7]s kinda crazy[A], but that one is my[D] baby.
I got a c[Bm]all in Alabama, said come on h[G]ome to Louisianna
[D]and come as fast as you can f[A]ly.
Cause your mo[Bm]mma really needs you, and s[G]ays she's got to see you,
[D]she might not make it through the ni[A]ght.
The who[Em7]le way I drove 80,[A] so she could see her[D] baby.
She l[Bm]ooked like she was sleepin' and my f[G]amily had been weepin'
[D]by the time that I got to her s[A]ide.
And I k[Bm]new that she'd been taken, and my he[G]art it was breakin',
[D]I never got to say goo[A]dbye.
Em7 A STOP Play Outro
I softly kissed that lady, and cried just like a baby.
