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
