That Crawlin' Baby Blues
 

Well the baby crawling : on up to his mama's knee
He's crying about his sweet milk : and she won't feed him just that cream

Crawled from the fireplace : and he stopped in the middle of the floor
Said mama ain't that your second daddy : standing back there in the door

Well she grabbed my baby and spanked him : I tried to make her leave him alone
I tried my best to stop her : and she said that baby ain't none of mine

Some woman rocks the cradle : and I declare she rules her home
Many man rocks some other man's baby : and the fool thinks he's rocking his own

It was late last night : when I liked to crawl in baby's room
My woman threw my clothes outdoors : and now I got those crawling baby blues
