Annie Had A Baby:The Midnighters.
#1 on R&B charts in 1954.
INTRO: E
CHORUS:
Annie had a baby, can't work no more.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Annie had a baby, can't work no more.
Every time she start to working..she has
to stop to walk the baby 'cross the floor.
#1.
She had to walk with the baby..instead of me.
Talk to the baby..instead of me.
Sing to the baby..instead of me.
Cling to the baby..instead of me.
Now I know, I know Annie understood..
that's what's happens when the gettin' gets good.
CHORUS:
Annie had a baby, can't work no more.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Annie had a baby, can't work no more.
Every time she start to working..she has
to stop to walk the baby 'cross the floor.
(INTERLUDE:SAX:)
#2.
She had to walk with the baby..instead of me.
Talk to the baby..instead of me.
Sing to the baby..instead of me.
Cling to the baby..instead of me.
Now I know, I know Annie understood..
that's what's happens when the gettin' gets good.
CHORUS:
Annie had a baby, can't work no more.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Annie had a baby, can't work no more.
Every time she start to working..she has
to stop to walk the baby 'cross the floor. (Fade.)
A fifties smash from Kraziekhat.
