Lyrics:John Prine Music:John Prine | |
Wanda had a baby in nineteen fifty one. | |
The father was stranger and a stranger was the son. | |
Call that child James Lewis, call these rooms a home. | |
Changing all them diapers polish all that chrome. | |
C'mon, baby, spend the night with me | |
All around the schoolyard playing all the games | |
Running, laughing back and forth the kid with two first names | |
Stranger in the closet, lock the diary | |
The past is running faster singing harmony | |
C'mon, baby, spend the night with me | |
"God bless this kitchen" said the knick-knack shelf | |
"The dinner's almost ready Go and wash yourself" | |
Jimmy's growing up now and Wanda's growing old | |
The time is growin' shorter the nights are long and cold | |
C'mon, baby, spend the night with me | |
Sneaking in the closet and through the diary | |
Now, don't you know all he saw was all there was to see | |
The whole town saw Jimmy on the six o'clock news | |
His brains were on the sidewalk and blood was on his shoes | |
C'mon, baby, spend the night with me | |
C'mon, baby, spend the night with me |

C' mon, baby, spend the night with me | |

His brains were on the sidewalk and blood was on his shoes | |
C' mon, baby, spend the night with me | |
