Music & Lyrics by Carrie McFerrin

lyrics

Janie’s gonna have herself a baby
Little boys bring a lot of joy
But he won’t be like the others
He’s gonna have himself a real hard life
The doctor says it’s best to put him to rest
Janie holds her head and she cries
She’s not much for praying
But she sings it out loud

Janie’s got herself a birthday boy
He’s turning five, how the time flies
No, he’s never been like the others
But he’s happy and he loves to ride his bike
It all happened so fast, the car was trying to pass
Janie beats the walls and she cries
She’s not much for praying
But she sings it out loud

Stop, don’t make a sound
He’s just a baby
He don’t belong in the ground
Life won’t you please go easy on me, go easy on me

Janie’s little boy is now a man
What a joy it was to raise that boy
No, he’ll never be like the others
But she’s taught him how to love and survive
The doctor said son, she don’t have very long
Janie hears her boy start to cry
She’s not much for praying
But she sings it out loud

Stop, don’t make a sound
What happens to him
When I’m trapped in the ground
Life won’t you please go easy on me, go easy on me

Life won’t you please go easy on me
Won’t you please go easy on me and my baby
