The Baker's Boy

Mama says, Don't you marry no railroad man

He will burn through your lovin with lies of where he's been

Just when you think he's finally stopped he'll start again

Mama says, Don't you marry no railroad man

Mama says, Don't you marry no railroad man

Mama says, Don't you marry no preacher's son

With the face of an angel and a silver tongue

Oh but Lord help his new bride when the wedding's done

Mama says, Don't you marry no preacher's son

Mama says, Don't you marry no preacher's son

Mama says if I marry the baker's boy

I will never go hungry for love or joy

For he spends his life creating, while other men destroy

Mama says if I marry the baker's boy

Maybe I, I think I'll marry the baker's boy
