What I'd Give To Hear A Baby Cry Lyrics - Porter Wagoner

What I'd Give To Hear A Baby Cry Lyrics 

I'm locked behind steel ribbons in a building made of stone 

This prison cell will be my home for life 

Forgotten men surround me and curse cause they were born 

Lord what I'd give to hear a baby cry 

If I could hear a baby cry just one more time 

I could fight the future locked inside 

Some prisoners call for mama and others pray to die 

Lord what I'd give to hear a baby cry 

[ fiddle ] 

They tell me I was drinkin' at that awful time when baby started cryin' in the night 

They say I picked up baby and squeezed him much too tight 

What I'd give now to hear a baby cry 

If I could hear a baby... 

What I'd give now to hear a baby cry
