'willie's Blues' Lyrics - 1959

[ Buy 'willie's Blues' ]

Hardest finds, sweet like wine
Cool like a pool
But I'm glad she's mine
Look like a angel
Got ways like a child
The way she loves
Is gonna drive me wild

But that's my baby
Yes, that's my baby
That's my baby
Nothin' but a baby child

Sweet like honey
And she's pure as dew
She break a man's heart
Even half, in two
When I hold her close
She feels so warm
She make the marrow freeze
Down-a in my bones

But that's my baby
Yes, that's my baby
You know that's my baby
Nothin' but a baby child

(guitar & instrumental)

She's built like this
And she's shaped like that
She even stop the traffic
Wherever she's at
A blind man's son
Says she can't be beat
But when the dumb man
Hollered, 'Ooo, ain't she sweet!'

But that's my baby
Yes, that's my baby
You know that's my baby
Ain't nothin' but a baby child.
