Baby Boy

[Verse 1]
Well, I never will forget
The first time that we met
Dancin' squares and a do-si-do-in' at the V.F. Hall
He was old as my pappy
But that didn't make me unhappy
He was cute as the dickens
Just a doll

Had no hair on your head
But a lot above your lip
You was all dressed up in cowboy corduroy
Felt my soul start a thrashing
And my heart-strings a lashing
I knew I had found my Baby Boy

[Chorus]
Baby Boy
Baby Boy
Sweet Charlie
You're my big ole Baby Boy

Well, you're my life
And you're my joy
You're my precious bedtime toy
Sweet Charlie
You're my big ole Baby Boy

[Verse 2]
Later on that night
You asked me would it be all right
If you took me for a bit to the Tas-tee Freeze
Well, we shared some chunky tuna
Then we kissed under the moon-a
And I knew forever
We'd be thick as fleas

And then quicker than a wink
I said, “Now, Baby Boy, I think
It's time we tied the knot
Said nupital vows.”

My folks cried, “Cradle robber!”
I said, “Please, he's my heart-throbber
The Lord wants us together
Here and now.”

[Chorus]
Baby Boy
Baby Boy
Sweet Charlie
You're my big ole Baby Boy

[Verse 3]
Well, you're my life
And you're my joy
You're my precious bedtime toy
Sweet Charlie
You're my big ole Baby Boy

Every single day
I count my blessings and I say
“Thank you, Lord
For sending me my Baby Boy"
Life with him's a pleasure
And there's no way I can measure
All the love I feel inside for Baby Boy

And I just found out today
That our baby's on the way
An expression of our love and of our joy
Well, a girl would be delighting
And, oh, it sure would be exciting
To have my Baby Boy's baby boy

[Chorus]
Baby Boy
Baby Boy
Sweet Charlie
You're my big ole Baby Boy

Well, you're my life
And you're my joy
You're my precious bedtime toy
Sweet Charlie
You're my big ole Baby Boy
