"Baby King" lyrics

Marc Cohn & The Blind Boys Of Alabama Lyrics

"Baby King"

Baby King
Baby King
You got to get ready for a Baby King
You might dance, Daddy
You might sing
But you never seen nothin' like a Baby King

It was a bright and sunny summer morn, she said
(Get ready for a Baby King)
It wasn't too long, for he was born now
(Get ready for a Baby King)
As you could hardly tell by the look on his face
(Get ready for a Baby King)
The pretty soon he was gonna run the place
(Get ready for a Baby King)

Now he is strong and he is wise, yeah
(Get ready for a Baby King)
He sees right through your old disguise
(Get ready for a Baby King)
Now you might think that you got it down
(Get ready for a Baby King)
Wait till Baby King comes to town now
(Get ready for a Baby King)
'Cause here he come

Baby King
Baby King
You got to get ready for a Baby King
You might dance, Daddy
You might sing
But you never seen nothin' like a Baby King

Now ol' Virgin Mary brought him here but
(Get ready for a Baby King)
The angels whispered in his tiny little ear
(Get ready for a Baby King)
But then they sent him down from up above
(Get ready for a Baby King)
Just to show you how to really love
(Get ready for a Baby King)
'Cause here he comes

Baby King
Baby King
You got to get ready for a Baby King
You might dance, Daddy
You might sing
But you never seen nothin' like a Baby King

You might dance, Daddy
You might sing
But you never seen nothin' like a Baby King
