Baby’s Crying Blues

{intimate fingerpicked acoustic guitar intro} (hush now,

hush now) {soft, warm room reflections}

I can’t look up in the sky

Cause this baby won’t stop crying

I like her everywhere

I just

wanna play with her

{gentle cello enters softly} I just wanna play with the baby And I

won’t be

even saying I

just wanna stay with the baby

Don’t

even play

with me

{acoustic guitar strumming swells}

Wanna stay with the baby

With the baby is crying

Baby is crying,

baby crying (hummmm)

{rhythm slows slightly, cello holds long sustained

drone} I’m gonna check if she sleep

She’s not trying to make a go to sleep

But she’s not asleep

{soft tiptoe

acoustic guitar

notes}

(ahhhh) I just wanna play with the baby And I

won’t be

even saying I

just wanna stay with the baby Don’t

even play

with me

{full acoustic and cello climax} She's not asleep

(shhh, baby, crying) {acoustic guitar fades

out to single strum} {tape hiss fades

to silence}
