My brother said that I, was rotten to the core.

I was the youngest child,  so I got by with more.

I guess she was tired by, the time I came along.
E      E      A             Gbm7              B
She'd laugh until she cried, I could do no wrong.
Gbm7                     B                  E
She would always save me, because I was her baby.

I worked a factory in Ohio, a shrimp boat in the Bayou,

I drove a truck in Birmingham.

Turned 21 in Cincinnati,I called home to mom and daddy,
E                          B
I said "Your boy is now a man."
            Gbm7                     B                      E
She said "I don't care if you're 80, you'll always be my baby."


E      E     A            B               E
She loved that photograph, of our whole family.
E       E     A           Gbm7                     B
She'd always point us out, for all her friends to see.

And that one's kinda crazy, but that one is my baby.

I got a call in Alabama, said come on home to Louisianna 
E                            B
and come as fast as you can fly.

Cause your momma really needs you, and says she's got to see you, 
E                                   B
she might not make it through the night.
       Gbm7               B                    E
The whole way I drove 80, so she could see her baby.


     Dbm                                  A
She looked like she was sleepin' and my family had been weepin' 
E                              B
by the time that I got to her side.
       Dbm                                  A
And I knew that she'd been taken, and my heart it was breakin', 
E                     B
I never got to say goodbye.
   Em7                     A                       
I softly kissed that lady, and cried just like a baby.
