Always Treat Her Like A Baby 1914

See those sweethearts
they've just been married
they'll be leaving soon.
They're getting ready to begin
a lifelong honeymoon.
See the old folks crowding around them
gladness fills the room
just hear the bride's old mother
whispering to the groom.

Treat her like a baby
for she's only a baby
when you take her with you lad,
you are taking all we had,
I know she'll be a comfort to you
like she's always been to me.
Do do be kind and keep unhappiness away
and when you find her golden hair
is turning grey
continue to treat her like a baby.

Treat her like a baby
for she's only a baby
when you take her with you lad,
you are taking all we had,
I know she'll be a comfort to you
like she's always been to me.
Do do be kind and keep unhappiness away
and when you find her golden hair
is turning grey
continue to treat her like a baby.

See those sweethearts rocking a cradle
with a baby boy.
After a year of wedded bliss,
he came to bring them joy.
Listen to them planning his future
hear his father say
I picture some girl's mother
saying to him some day.

Treat her like a baby
for she's only a baby
when you take her with you lad,
you are taking all we had,
I know she'll be a comfort to you
like she's always been to me.
Do do be kind and keep unhappiness away
and when you find her golden hair
is turning grey
continue to treat her like a baby.

Treat her like a baby
for she's only a baby
when you take her with you lad,
you are taking all we had,
I know she'll be a comfort to you
like she's always been to me.
Do do be kind and keep unhappiness away
and when you find her golden hair
is turning grey
continue to treat her like a baby.
