Everybody Loves a Pretty Baby

歌詞

On a January morning on a Louisiana farm A couple was gifted with a baby The town folks came to see her and showered her with gifts Cause everybody loves a pretty baby Her daddy was so proud of her he took her everywhere She was about 6 or 7 maybe Everyone would put a nickel in her tiny hands Cause everybody loves a pretty baby Pretty baby, pretty baby Yes everybody loves a pretty baby I met her in high school and we fell so in love That only God above could save me I stayed right beside her and I kept her from the crowd Since everybody loves a pretty baby Soon we grew older she promised me her hand She said she would never betray me So I took her hand in mind knowing all the time That everybody loves a pretty baby Pretty baby, pretty baby Yes everybody loves a pretty baby Now she's up there in New York she left me here alone I know she's not acting like a lady She's taking more than nickels in her tiny hands From anyone who wants a pretty baby Pretty baby, pretty baby Yes everybody loves my pretty baby
