My brother said that I |
| [00:14.145] |
was rotten to the core. |
| [00:19.657] |
I was the youngest child, |
| [00:25.117] |
so I got by with more. |
| [00:30.837] |
I guess she was tired by |
| [00:36.114] |
the time I came along. |
| [00:41.940] |
She'd laugh until she cried, |
| [00:47.425] |
I could do no wrong. |
| [00:52.258] |
She would always save me, |
| [00:56.228] |
because I was her baby. |
| [01:02.733] |
I worked a factory in Ohio, |
| [01:06.155] |
a shrimp boat in the Bayou, |
| [01:09.394] |
I drove a truck in Birmingham. |
| [01:13.652] |
Turned 21 in Cincinnati, |
| [01:16.970] |
I called home to mom and daddy, |
| [01:20.548] |
I said "Your boy is now a man." |
| [01:25.094] |
She said "I don't care if you're 80, |
| [01:29.508] |
you'll always be my baby." |
| [01:37.502] |
She loved that photograph, |
| [01:42.753] |
of our whole family. |
| [01:48.395] |
She'd always point us out, |
| [01:54.011] |
for all her friends to see. |
| [01:59.628] |
That's Greg he's doing great, |
| [02:04.983] |
he really loves his job. |
| [02:10.756] |
And Ronnie with his 2 kids, |
| [02:16.137] |
how 'bout that wife he's got. |
| [02:20.944] |
And that one's kinda crazy, |
| [02:25.071] |
but that one is my baby. |
| [02:31.575] |
I got a call in Alabama, |
| [02:34.344] |
said come on home to Louisianna |
| [02:38.158] |
and come as fast as you can fly. |
| [02:42.547] |
Cause your momma really needs you, |
| [02:45.734] |
and says she's got to see you, |
| [02:49.339] |
she might not make it through the night. |
| [02:54.145] |
The whole way I drove 80 |
| [02:58.455] |
so she could see her baby. |
| [03:05.326] |
She looked like she was sleepin' |
| [03:07.964] |
and my family had been weepin' |
| [03:11.491] |
by the time that I got to her side. |
| [03:16.010] |
And I knew that she'd been taken, |
| [03:19.066] |
and my heart it was breakin', |
| [03:22.619] |
I never got to say goodbye. |
| [03:27.582] |
I softly kissed that lady |
| [03:32.310] |
and cried just like a baby. |
