My first lover was real sweet, he made a woman out of me
But he left as quick as he came, my baby James
Mama said I was naive
'Said one day he'd pick up and leave me
But 'till then I swore I'd stay for my baby Jame
My baby's gone and I can't seem to find him
He never calls and he's real bad at writing
Oh where's my baby James
My first lover was real cruel and he knew what he was doing
He loved so good I had to stay for my baby James
Mama said I was naive
'Said one day he'd pick up and leave me.
But 'till that day I best be strong for my baby James
He's as cold as an ice box, there's nothing inside him
Just crack him open, hear the echoes holler
Where's my baby James
Oh I begged him not to go
But nothing would move him
He said he'd women to meet
And countries to topple
Before you cart me away
Tell him I'm real sorry
Oh, I love him just the same, my baby Jame
Call of f the search party there's nobody coming
My baby's gone where you never will find him
Where's my baby
Where's my baby
Bye bye baby James
But he left as quick as he came, my baby James
Mama said I was naive
'Said one day he'd pick up and leave me
But 'till then I swore I'd stay for my baby Jame
My baby's gone and I can't seem to find him
He never calls and he's real bad at writing
Oh where's my baby James
My first lover was real cruel and he knew what he was doing
He loved so good I had to stay for my baby James
Mama said I was naive
'Said one day he'd pick up and leave me.
But 'till that day I best be strong for my baby James
He's as cold as an ice box, there's nothing inside him
Just crack him open, hear the echoes holler
Where's my baby James
Oh I begged him not to go
But nothing would move him
He said he'd women to meet
And countries to topple
Before you cart me away
Tell him I'm real sorry
Oh, I love him just the same, my baby Jame
Call of f the search party there's nobody coming
My baby's gone where you never will find him
Where's my baby
Where's my baby
Bye bye baby James
