The Baker’s Boy

Mama says don't you marry no railroad men
He will burn through your lovin', flies where he's been
And just when you think he's finally stopped, he'll start again
Mama says don't you marry no railroad men
Mama says no, don't you marry no railroad men

Mama says don't you marry the preacher's son
With the face of an angel and a silver tongue
Oh but Lord help his new bride when wedding's done
Mama says don't you marry no preacher's son
Mama says no, 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
Oh maybe I think I'll marry the baker's boy
