about

Baby by Black Bordello

lyrics

The land is dry.
The hot East wind blows.
Where is my love?
Nobody knows.
The little maiden washes her skin
Of the old wise man
And his pocket of sin.

Baby love me,
Baby lies,
Baby looks like he could cry.
Baby knows me,
Yet he throws me
To the lions to die
And the lions try to hurt me
But they stopped when they heard me
Singing 'Baby who left me,
Oh how I detest thee'
Lay lay,
Lay lay,
Lay lay lay lay lay
Lay lay,
Lay lay,
Lay lay lay lay lay
So the lions stood behind me
And I led them to find He.
I would tempt him to bed
Then I'd bring them his head,
Lay lay,
Lay lay,
Lay lay lay lay lay
Lay lay,
Lay lay,
Lay lay lay lay lay...

His temples oiled,
His shaven cheek sinks.
Considering arms
With a lip full of pink.
Smirking his dirty,
Drinking his ale,
Agreeing with only
The barrels of male.

Baby love me,
Baby lies,
Baby looks like he could cry.
Baby knows me,
Yet he throws me
To the lions to die
And the lions try to hurt me
But they stopped when they heard me
Singing 'Baby who left me,
Oh how I detest thee'
Lay lay,
Lay lay,
Lay lay lay lay lay
Lay lay,
Lay lay,
Lay lay lay lay lay
So the lions stood behind me
And I led them to find He.
I would tempt him to bed
Then I'd bring them his head,
Lay lay,
Lay lay,
Lay lay lay lay lay
Lay lay,
Lay lay,
Lay lay lay lay lay...

The little maid,
She throws off her cloak.
She's found her love
Beside the great Oak!
She sows her seeds
As fast as she can,
And bids farewell
To the memory of man.

Baby love me,
Baby lies,
Baby looks like he could cry.
Baby knows me,
Yet he throws me
To the lions to die
And the lions try to hurt me
But they stopped when they heard me
Singing 'Baby who left me,
Oh how I detest thee'
Lay lay,
Lay lay,
Lay lay lay lay lay
Lay lay,
Lay lay,
Lay lay lay lay lay
So the lions stood behind me
And I led them to find He.
I would tempt him to bed
Then I'd bring them his head,
Lay lay,
Lay lay,
Lay lay lay lay lay
Lay lay,
Lay lay,
Lay lay lay lay lay...

Oh baby,
Lay lay lay lay
Lay lay lay lay,
Oh...
