That Crawlin' Baby Blues

Heard a baby crying, what do his mama mean?
 Heard a baby crying, what do his mama mean?
 He's crying 'bout his sweet milk, and she won't feed him Jersey cream
 Well, he crawled from the fireplace, stopped in the middle of the floor
 Well, he crawled from the fireplace, stopped in the middle of the floor
 Says, "Mama, ain't that your second daddy standing back there in the door?"
 Well she grabbed my baby, spanked him, I tried to make her leave him alone
 Well she grabbed my baby, spanked him, I tried to make her leave him alone
 I tried my best to stop her and she said, "The baby ain't none of mine"
 The woman rocks the cradle, I declare she rules the home
 Woman rocks the cradle, I declare she rules the home
 Married man rocks some other man's baby, fool thinks he's rockin' his own
 Well it was late last night when I learned the crawlin' baby blues
 I said it was late last night when I learned the crawlin' baby blues
 My woman threw my clothes outdoors and now I got the crawlin' baby blues
