Hello My Baby - Dan Croll, Ladysmith Black Mambazo

Hey, baby, hey

Hey, beautiful girl

Sing hey, baby, hey

Hey, hey, hey, beautiful girl

Hey, baby, hey

Sing hey, baby, hey

Hey, hey, hey, beautiful girl

Come along, come along

To kiss me before I’m going

Come along, come along

To kiss me before I’m going

Don’t you kiss me nice, nice

Before I’m going

Don’t you kiss me nice, nice

Before I’m going

Come along, come along

Come along, you, you, you

If I was to build a coliseum it wouldn’t lay there with the rest

I’d take a walk on over to your richer plains and share the grass that you say

is best

Now if you forget your mother, I forget my friends and we can go

Round and round and round until the circle ends

Now if forbidden fruit throws itself at you, is it still wrong to take a bite?

'Cause you’re coming up to me and all I can see is a dark and tender sight

Now if you forget your mother, I forget my friends and we can go

Round and round and round until the circle ends

Hey!

Then I’ll say hey baby hey, hey hey hey, hey beautiful girl

Hey baby hey, hey hey hey, hey beautiful girl

Now it’s been 29 years behind these prison bars since I left you on the run

With these blistered feet in the southern heat cause of the colour of our son

Now I’ve never been the one to protest, never been the one to shout

But we can go round and round and round until the word is out

Then I’ll say hey baby hey, hey hey hey, hey beautiful girl

Hey baby hey, hey hey hey, hey beautiful girl

Hello my baby, hello my babe, hello my babe, hello my baby

Hello my babe, Hello my sweet heart, hello my baby

Hello my sweet heart, hello my babe, hello my sweet heart

Hey baby hey, hey hey hey, hey beautiful girl

Hey baby hey, hey hey hey, hey beautiful girl
