Don't cry baby, baby blue... Mama's gonna sing to you... |

Story Behind the Song
This was recorded on the 'Private Wars' sessions. Another song that was a first take, no overdubs. Studio technology can do such extraordinary things now, but this song remains nakedly real.
Lyrics
Cry Baby
Words and Music by Carole Nelson
Don't cry baby, baby blue
Mama's gonna sing to you
Rock you through your lilac dreams
Throw a penny in the stream
Throw a penny in the stream
Don't cry baby, baby bunting
Mama's gonna go a-hunting
Down the river, catch a fish
Make a killing, make a wish.
Make a killing, make a wish.
Don't cry baby, baby face
Welcome to the human race
Some are hungry, some are dying
Hush now baby, stop your crying
Hush now baby, stop your crying.
Don't cry baby, baby cakes
Mama's got just what it takes
Make a killing, make a wish
Throw a stone and catch a fish
Throw a penny in the stream
Sew a penny in the seam
Rock you through your lilac dream
Your hair is black your eyes are green
The greenest eyes I've ever seen
Hush now baby, don't you scream
Your Mama has you safe and sound
While the world turns round and round
While the world turns round and round and round. It
