Sample Of "Babies Don't Keep" {mp3}BabiesDontKeep{/mp3}
Adapted from the poem, “Babies Don’t Keep”. Other words and music by Pearl Barrett
Chorus:
Cleaning and scrubbing can wait ‘till tomorrow,
Babies grow up I have learned to my sorrow,
So quiet down cobwebs, dust go to sleep,
I’m rocking my baby and babies don’t keep.
Let’s take a break, precious baby,
Don’t want to work any more,
Let’s just rock in the stillness,
All those chores we’ll ignore.
For you are far more important
And you deserve special time,
Your mama longs just to hold you,
I’m so glad that you’re mine.
Chorus.
