Mary thought that Joe was the love of her life

She was glad to be with him that moonlit night

But in the early morning fore the break of day

Love turned sour and he went away

With a broken heart she was left alone

One more baby with a babe of her own.

For days Mary hoped that nothing was amiss

Everything had started with such a lovely kiss

A few weeks later her childhood is through

It didn’t seem to matter that her love was true

After three months she’s afraid to go home

She’ll be one more baby with a babe of her own

Ch:

Just a little girl with a baby to feed

It isn’t what she wants, it isn’t what she needs

To young to be a mother to young to make a home

She’s one more baby with a babe of her own.

When she began to show she had to drop out of school

People were afraid the girls would think it was cool

Hiding in her room from her family and friends

Praying for a way to have her life back again

Hoping one day to hear Joe on the phone

She’ll be one more baby with a babe of her own

Bridge:

She didn’t know how to deal with romance

Life isn’t giving her another chance

Running fast as she can just to make ends meet

Lost in bottles and diapers with no time for sleep

She dreams of better things for her little Ashley

A horse in the country or a house by the sea

She’ll take her to the park where she can play

Make her go to school on every day

Pray she won’t find when her daughter has grown

She has one more baby with a babe of her own
