Eddy Arnold - Mama, Come Get Your Baby Boy lyrics

Once I was a happy boy free as I could be
I up and left my home to see what I could see
I met up with a little gal and
She turned loose on me
Mama come get your baby boy

Mama, mama, mama come get your baby boy
If I don't get back home to roost
You know this gal done cooked my goose
Mama come get your baby boy

I always thought I’d like to try
To take a little fling
Now I'm scared half to death to
Think what it might bring
She'll string me like a puppet
She’ll play me like a toy
Mama come get your baby boy

Mama, oh mama, mama come get your baby boy
If I don't get back home to roost
You know this gal done cooked my goose
Mama come get your baby boy

If I ever get back home I promise this to you
I will stay away from women I
Know what they will do
They will treat you very nice
Then leave very blue
Mama come get your baby boy

Mama, oh mama, mama come get your baby boy
If I don't get back home to roost
You know this gal done cooked my goose
Mama come get your baby boy
