I Cried Like A Baby

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
