BABY, DID YOU HEAR?
(no songwriter listed)

REFRAIN
Baby did you hear
Me and my sweetie's goin' to ride the Cherokee
Up the St. John River
And nary a cent will I be the giver.

1. Baby did you hear
All your men goin' to leave you,
Yes, Lord, on the next pay day?
REFRAIN

2. Baby did you hear
All your furniture goin' to leave you,
Yes, Lord, on the next pay day?
REFRAIN

3. Baby did you hear
Me and my sweetie's goin' away,
Yes, Lord, on the next pay day?
REFRAIN
