Lyrics
From the Alligator Records recording Queen Of The Blues
By Koko Taylor
I Cried Like A Baby
Yes, I cried like a baby
When you left me last Friday night
Yes, I cried like a baby
When you left me last Friday night
'Cause I made me some connections
And everything is really all right
'Cause my iceman, he's a good man
Just as nice as he can be
'Cause he goes collecting money
And he brings it all to me
Now my woodman, he's a good man
'Cause he likes to keep me warm
When his wood don't burn to suit me
Then he takes me in his arms
Now my meat man, he's a sweet man
Brings me steaks every day
And he tells me, "Pretty baby
You don't ever have to pay"
Oh, you just shouldn't have done it
When you left me last Friday night
'Cause I made me some connections
And everything is really all right
Yes, I cried like a baby
When you left me last Friday night
Yes, I cried like a baby
When you left me last Friday night
'Cause I made me some connections
And everything is really all right
'Cause my landlord, he done told me
Not to worry about the rent
All he wants to do is hold me
And my rent won't cost a cent
Now my coal man, he's an old man
He's almost eighty-two
But believe me when I tell you
He knows just what to do
Oh, you just shouldn't have done it
When you left me last Friday night
'Cause I made me some connections
And everything is really all right
