lyrics

Baby Back Again
Whether she’s crazy or weak
Whether she leaves you once or twice a week
Well, it’s good, you know it’s good
To have your baby back again

Whether she’s ugly or just bizarre
Whether she steals your house and car
Well, it good, you know it’s good
To have you baby back again

When my baby left, you know I felt so doggone low
I slept in the gutter almost every, every night
Oh that’s why, I maintain, hummm
Nothin’ seems to cheer you
Like your own baby back again

The Tables turned. Money all gone
You know you miss your jelly roll
You ain’t getting none!
Seems like time to trade it all back in on one of them brand new ones

Whether she stays out late and drinks in bars
Hangs around in parked cars
Smoking Marshall Wheeling cigars
Well, it’s good, you know it’s good
To have your baby back again

For you know those tables turned
Money all gone
Oh, you miss your jelly roll
You ain’t getting none
Seems like time to trade it all back in
On one of those partially new ones
Ah, but nothin’ seems to cheer you like your own baby back again

J.W. McClure Seattle, Washington

J.W. McClure lives in Stanwood, Washington. This is a career restarted for me. In the 1970’s I was often an opening act at the Washington D.C. clubs, The Cellar Door and The Childe Harold for Tom Paxton, Dave Van Ronk, Tom Rush and many well known bands. In the 1980’s I returned to Washington to do folk music, satire and stand-up comedy before getting swamped by family and other work. ... more
