The Baker's Boy Lyrics

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
