Tom Paxton - Little Girl lyrics

Little girl What are you doin' with a child of your own Little girl What are you doin' in this city all alone If you haven't got the money, and I'm bettin' that you don't You will need the help of strangers, and I'm bettin' that they won't Little girl What are you doin' with a child of your own Did your momma ever tell you how you came to be her child How your daddy did not stay to see you born Now, your momma sits and worries That her baby's runnin' wild Now her baby's got a baby of her own Ah, little girl What are you doin' with a child of your own Little girl What are you doin' in this city all alone If you haven't got the money, and I'm bettin' that you don't You will need the help of strangers, and I'm bettin' that they won't Little girl What are you doin' with a child of your own Did you think about your baby as you walked the halls at school Did you dream about how perfect she would be Now, she cries all night from hunger till you don't know what to do But you know you're feelin' anything but free Ah, little girl What are you doin' with a child of your own - of your own Little girl What are you doin' in this city all alone - all alone If you haven't got the money, and I'm bettin' that you don't You will need the help of strangers, and I'm bettin' that they won't Little girl What are you doin' with a child of your own - of your own Ah, little girl All alone
