Baby O

What you gonna do with the baby-o

Wrap him up in calico

Send him home to Georgio

Lord, I love that pretty little babe

Ain’t he a dandy

Lord I love that pretty little babe

Gonna give him some candy

What you gonna do with the baby-o

Pick him up then you gotta go

Send him home to Georgio

Want to hear him stirring as he wakes up

Breathing as he sleeps

Watch him run and laugh

Watch him play and leap

See those eyes a-blazing as they fix on something new

As he gazes at the stars or tastes the morning dew

What you gonna do with the baby-o

Pick him up, put him down, then you gotta go

Send him home to Georgio

Want to take him fishing in the river

Wading in the creek

Throw and catch a ball

Play a game of hide and seek

Be there as he grows to love the woods and the farms

I’ll be holding in my heart this baby in my arms

What you gonna do with the baby-o

Pick him up, put him down, then you gotta go

Send him home to Georgio

Lord I love that pretty little babe

Ain’t he a dandy

Lord I love that pretty little babe

But he lives with his mammy

What you gonna do with the baby-o

Pick him up, put him down, then you gotta go

Send him home to Georgio

Baby - O
