Baby Joined the Army - Ry Cooder

Lt was on a Friday evening wasn't nobody 'round

I was sitting by my window watching tbe sun go down

My baby came up to me saying daddy I got news for you

I have been recruited and there ain't nothing you can do

Cause I can't stand sitting, round this crazy town no more

Not since the little baby shot dead down on the second floor daddy

And what about that poor old lady crippled in a police raid

They told me if I get killed in battle I still get paid

I get paid

When the train pulled out next morning I just stood and waived bye bye

Because my baby joined the army wasn't nothing I could do but cry

It's so crid

There was a time there was a dance that I used to do

There was a dream that was working I had other plans for you

Family and his pride is all a man Iike me has left

Better watch your back take care of yourself

When the train pulled out next morning no precious child was left behind

No, push my baby joined the army,

wasn't nothing I could do nothing I could do but cry

To cry

Some day people williook back and say

That was a time when peace didn't declare

But I won't be around watching the sun go down
