"Why Baby Why" lyrics - HANK LOCKLIN

Tell me why, baby, why, baby, why, baby, why
You make me cry, baby, cry, baby, cry, baby, cry

Well I got a crow I wanna pick with you
Just like last time when the feathers flew
You're running wild a-kickin' up your heels
A-leavin' me home with a handful of bills

I can't live without you and you know it's true
But there's no livin' with you, so what'll I do?
I'm goin' honky tonkin', get as tight as I can
And maybe by then you'll preciate a good man

Tell me why, baby, why, baby, why, baby, why
You make me cry, baby, cry, baby, cry, baby, cry
I can't help but love you 'til the day that I die
But tell me why, baby, why, baby, why, baby, why

Well I don't know, but I've heard you say
That ev'ry little dog is gonna have his day
You better pay attention, don't you dare forget
'Cause I'm just a little bitty puppy yet

I caught you honky tonkin' with my best friend
Oh why you should've done he put you away back then
Now I'm too old to leave you, but I still get sore
When you come home a feelin' for the knob on the door

Tell me why, baby, why, baby, why, baby, why
You make me cry, baby, cry, baby, cry, baby, cry
I can't help but love you 'til the day that I die
But tell me why, baby, why, baby, why, baby, why
