Where’s My Baby Now?
© Jennifer Mansfield 1999

Where’s my baby now?
Where’s my baby now?
I’ve been waiting here
Where’s my baby now?

Is your sweetheart in a country that is far across the sea?
No, my sweetheart lives in Dallas and he won’t come here to me
If your sweetheart lives in Dallas, is he rich like they all say?
No, my sweetheart’s a musician and he struggles every day

Where’s my baby now …?

Did you give him what he needed, did you serve him every way?
All I tried to do was love him and help him as friends may
If you tried so hard to love him, then why aren’t you by his side?
I have no more heart for questions, I will call him to my side

Where’s my baby now …?

(Bridge)
Oh, the rivers here bring comfort to some frightened, lonely source
But how many fields go barren when a river changes course?
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Where’s my baby now …?
