The Babies No Cry (Keelan)
Dm
Smoothes on by
G
With a baby on her back
C
With a baby on her back
F
With a baby on her back
Dm
I think to her
G
The baby no cry
C
She sings, she hums
F F
Time at her side
G F
I say to her
C
The baby no cry
G F
She looks at me, with a
C
Beaming smile
Chorus:
Am
Cos we sing to them
G
Talk with them
Am
Walk with them
G
Attached again
Am
Time with them
G
Skin to skin
C
Oh-ayyyyyy!
I watch her go
The baby watches me
I throw a smile
And so does she
Her mother unaware
Waddling along
Flour on her head
Will so strong
I say to her
The baby no cry
She turns to me
Weary smile
Chorus:
Flour on her soul
The power of mind
History to leap
Distance and heat
Kilos to weigh
Barest of feet
Oh-ayyyyyy!
I think to her
Don't let it fall
The dirt so fine
All so poor
The wind will sweep
And want some more
No rain to wash
Three years the cause
I say to her
The baby no cry
She doesn't hear
Just single file
Am Em F
For miles n miles
Am Em F
African sister
Am F
miles n miles n
Am G
Miles n miles
n ma....ma...ma....improvisation!
