My brother said that I, was rotten to the core.

I was the youngest child,  so I got by with more.

I guess she was tired by, the time I came along.

E      E      A             Gbm7              B
She'd laugh until she cried, I could do no wrong.

Gbm7                     B                  E
She would always save me, because I was her baby.

I worked a factory in Ohio, a shrimp boat in the Bayou,

She said "I don't care if you're 80, you'll always be my baby."

E      E     A            B               E
She loved that photograph, of our whole family.

She'd always point us out, for all her friends to see.

And that one's kinda crazy, but that one is my baby.

I got a call in Alabama, said come on home to Louisianna

E                            B
and come as fast as you can fly.

Cause your momma really needs you, and says she's got to see you,

E                                   B
she might not make it through the night.

       Gbm7               B                    E
The whole way I drove 80, so she could see her baby.

     Dbm                                  A
She looked like she was sleepin' and my family had been weepin'

E                              B
by the time that I got to her side.

       Dbm                                  A
And I knew that she'd been taken, and my heart it was breakin',

E                     B
I never got to say goodbye.

   Em7                     A
I softly kissed that lady, and cried just like a baby.
