Why Baby Why
(As performed by George Jones) (1955)
(Chorus)
[G]Tell me [C]why baby, why baby, why baby why
You make me [G]cry baby, cry baby, [D]cry baby[G]
Lord, I [C]can't help but love you 'til the day that I die
So tell me, w[G]hy baby, why baby, w[D]hy baby w[G]hy
Well I got a crow I wanna pick with [D]you
Just l[C]ike last time when the f[G]eathers flew
You're runnin' wild kickin' up your h[D]eels
A-l[C]eavin' me home with a h[D]and full of b[G]ills
Lord, I can't live without you and you know it's t[D]rue
But t[C]here's no livin' with you so w[G]hat'll I do
I'm goin' honky tonkin', get as tight as I c[D]an
And m[C]aybe by then you'll 'precia[D]te a good m[G]an
Repeat Chorus
Well, now I don't know, but I've heard [D]say
That [C]ever' little dog is a-gonna [G]have his day
You'd better pay attention, don't you dare for[D]get
'Cause I'm j[C]ust a little bitty [D]puppy [G]yet
Well, I caught you honky tonkin' with my best [D]friend
The t[C]hing to do was leave you, but I s[G]hould'a left then
Now I'm too old to leave you, but I still get [D]sore
When y[C]ou come home a-feelin' for the k[D]nob on the d[G]oor
Repeat Chorus
