The Baby (Taylor)

Passion of the spring came the baby
And in the passion of the spring came the baby

Words that were spoken in the anger of youth only half the truth
Touched by the child bride while deep inside her lie the real truth
He was the passion of the spring he was the baby

And half-forgotten in the passing of time the real crime
Brother to brother with backs to each other the war sign
And in the passion of the spring came the baby

Come back mama mama sing him a song
Tell him all that was wrong
Tell him all that you had that was bad
Tell him all that was good mama
You know that you should mama
Remember the good mama

Break

And in the passion of the spring
Came the baby

Come back mama mama sing him a song
Tell him all that was wrong
Tell him all that you had that was bad
Tell him all that was good mama
You know that you should mama
Remember the good mama

And with a light that you show
Let him go
Let him go let him go
Let him go let him let him go

Words that were spoken in the anger of youth only half the truth
Touched by the child bride while deep inside her lie the real truth
He was the passion of the spring he was the baby

He was the passion of the spring he was the baby
He was the passion of the spring he was the baby
And in the passion of the spring came the baby
And in the passion of the spring came the baby
The baby yeah the baby
The baby yeah the baby
The baby yeah the baby


Oh Granny (Taylor)
Granny got up early one sunny day
Went to get the ferry down to Nashville
Went to find my sister who had run away
Run off with a barker on a fair wheel

Oh Granny don't you bother with her
She really didn't love us anyway
No Granny don't you bring her back home
You're never gonna make her wanna stay

Granny brought us both up from the age of four
Gave us education and a home yeah
Made sure we were brung up in a proper way
Granny worked her fingers to the bone yeah

Oh Granny don't you bother with her
She really didn't love us anyway
No Granny don't you bring her back home
You're never gonna make her wanna stay

No Granny she really didn't love us anyway
No Granny I won't bother with her
I know she'll never ever wanna stay

Break

Oh Granny don't you bother with her
She really didn't love us anyway
No Granny don't you bring her back home
You're never gonna make her wanna stay

Just the other day my granny passed away
Doc says she was pining for her baby
Now I go to put some flowers on her grave
She really was a very special lady

Oh Granny I won't bother with her
She really didn't love us anyway
No Granny I wouldn't bring her back home
You're never gonna make her wanna stay

No Granny she really didn't love us anyway
No Granny I won't bother with her
I know she'll never ever wanna stay

No Granny she really didn't love us anyway
No Granny I won't bother with her
I know she'll never ever wanna stay
