Hi Jean,

Thanks for your post!

Here's Tommy Jarrell's version entitled, "What're You Gonna Do With the Baby-O" It's interesting that Tommy never sings "baby-o" yet it's in the title of the song.

Baby this and baby that,
The baby killed my old tom cat.
What're you gonna do with the baby?
What're you gonna do with the baby?

(Fiddle)

Wrap him up with a tablecloth
And put him up in the stable loft.
What're you gonna do with the baby?
What're you gonna do with the baby?

(Fiddle)

Wrap him up in calico
Smack his bottom and let him go.
What're you gonna do with the baby?
What're you gonna do with the baby?
