Crying like a baby   In my Momma's arms   The day they came to tell me   You were gone      What have you done to me   You did not do before?   I had you standing right next to me   On the floor      Well, we sang in the same places   We were a double draw   And the folks came to see us   Had it all      But they took you to some stony place   And they broke your double jaw   Now the pieces of its ivory   Line the wall   With cold iron in the fireplace   And pictures of the war   Well I guess it's dying a peaceful death   So far   Yes I guess it's dying a peaceful death   So far      Crying like a baby   In my Momma's arms   The day they came to tell me   You were gone   You were gone   You were gone
