And I'm gonna hold my baby
Whiles I got a chance
I'm gonna hold a-dear baby
Whiles I got a chance
I'm gonna hold my baby
Whiles I gotta chance
'Cause I may not get a chance
Like this no mo'

And I'm gonna squeeze my little baby
Whiles I got a chance
I'm gonna squeeze my baby
Whiles I got a chance
I'm gonna squeeze my baby
Yes, whiles I got a chance
'Cause I may not get a chance
Like this no mo'

Now baby, you know that I love you
You know ev'ry word I say is true
Says, long as you know
That I love you
A-that's why I treat you like I
Do-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo
Whoa

I'm gonna hold my baby
Whiles I got a chance
I'm gonna hold my baby
While I got a chance
I'm gonna hold my baby
Don't want to take another chance
'Cause I may not get a chance
Like this no mo'

Yeah!

(harmonica & instrumental)

Hoo!

Woo!

Hold my baby
Whiles I got a chance
I'm gonna hold my baby
Whiles I got a chance
Yes, I'm gonna hold my baby
Whiles I got a chance
Beause I may not get a chance
Like this no mo'

'Cause I may
Not get another chance
No mo'

FADES-

'Cause I may not
Get a chance like this no mo'

'Cause I may not
Get a chance like this no mo'
