All babies must cry lyrics

If your baby don't cry

Tell you what you got to do

Take her down to the river side

and hold her so close to you

Tell her the river is longer than wide

runs right out into the sea

and some day, baby, you will die

never to come back to me.

Cry, cry, cry, little baby.

Cry, cry, cry, little baby.

Cry, cry, little baby.

All babies must cry.

If your baby don't cry

Tell you where you got to go

Take her up to the mountain high

and see the river winding far below.

Now if the riverbend was to burn

the water will all turn to steam

and my little baby, you will rise

only to come back to me.

Cry, cry, cry, little baby.

Cry, cry, cry, little baby.

Cry, cry, little baby.

All babies must cry.

If your baby don't cry

Tell you what you got to do.

Take her down to the river side,

now hold her so close to you...
