Why Baby Why (v3)

(Darrell Edwards & George Jones)

George Jones & Ricky Skaggs



Tell me why baby, why baby, why baby, why

You make me cry baby, cry baby, cry baby, cry

I can't help but love you 'til the day that I die

But tell me why baby, why baby, why baby, why.



Well, I got a crow I wanna pick with you

Just like last time when the feathers flew

You're runnin' wild kickin' up your heels

A leavin' me home with a handful of bills.



Well, I can't live without you and you know it's true

There's ain't no livin' with you so what'll I do

I'm goin' honky tonkin', tight as I can

And maybe by then you'll 'preciate a good man.



Tell me why baby, why baby, why baby, why

You make me cry baby, cry baby, cry baby, cry

I can't help but love you till the day that I die

But tell me why baby, why baby, why baby, why.



--- Instrumental ---



Now I don't know, but I've heard say

That every little dog's a-gonna have his day

You better pay attention, don't you dare forget

'Cause I'm just a little bitty puppy, yet.



Well, I caught you honky tonkin' with my best friend

The thing to do was leave you, but I should've left then

Now I'm too old to leave you, but I still get sore

When you come home a feelin' for the knob on the door.



Tell me why baby, why baby, why baby, why

You make me cry baby, cry baby, cry baby, cry

I can't help but love you 'til the day that I die

So tell me, why baby, why baby, why baby, why.



Tell me why baby, why baby, why baby, why

Why baby, why baby, why baby, why...
