Artist/Band: Porter Wagoner
Lyrics for Song: What I'd Give To Hear A Baby Cry
Lyrics for Album: Me and My Boys (RCA Victor) [1969]



(Cecil Null)



I'm locked behind steel ribbons in a building made of stone

This prison cell will be my home for life

Forgotten men surround me and curse cause they were born

Lord what I'd give to hear a baby cry.



If I could hear a baby cry just one more time

I could fight the future locked inside

Some prisoners call for mama and others pray to die

Lord what I'd give to hear a baby cry.



--- Instrumental ---



They tell me I was drinkin' at that awful time

When baby started cryin' in the night

They say I picked up baby and squeezed him much too tight

What I'd give now to hear a baby cry.



If I could hear a baby just one more time

I could fight the future locked inside

Some prisoners call for mama and others pray to die

Lord what I'd give to hear a baby cry.



What I'd give now to hear a baby cry...
