ANNIE HAD A BABY
Henry Glover/Sydney Nathan*

Annie had a baby, can't work no more
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
Annie had a baby, can't work no more
Ev'ry time we start to working,
She has to stop and walk the baby 'cross the floor.

She has to walk with the baby, instead of me.
Talk to the baby, instead of me.
Sing to the baby, instead of me.
Cling to the baby, instead of me.
Now I know and it's understood,
That's what happens when the gettin' gets good.


[First recorded by Hank Ballard & The Midnighters, 1954. Sequel to WORK WITH ME ANNIE.]
