She Called Me Baby

Bobby Bare · All-American Boy [Bear Family] [1994]

(Harlan Howard)



She called me baby, baby, all night long

Used to hold and kiss me till the dawn

Then one day I awoke and she was gone

Ah, there's no more baby, baby all night long.



Well she called me baby, baby, all night long

Lift me up so high and made me strong

Well, what I'd give if she'd just come back home

And call me baby, baby all night long.



--- Instrumental ---



Yeah, she called me baby, baby, all night long

Kissed my tears away when things went wrong

But now each night in dreams just like a song

I still hear baby, baby all night long.



But there's no more baby, baby, all night long...
