"I Wish My Baby Was Born" lyrics

"I Wish My Baby Was Born"

I wish, I wish my baby was born
Sittin' on her mama's knee
But you, poor girl are dead and gone
And grass is growing over thee

Oh I'm not no saint, no I never shall be
'Till the sweet apple grows
On a sour apple tree
Still I hope that the day will come
When you and I will walk as one

I wish I wish my baby was born
Sittin' on her papa's knee
But you poor girl are dead and gone
And grass growing over thee
