When I first met the lil' girl
I didn' know what I was doin'
Now we all tied up
And my life is ruined!

I'm scared o' that child
I'm scared o' that child
I'm scared o' that child
I'm too young to die!

She's a cute lil' girl
She got such a wonderful mug
When she start to talkin'
Her voice bust a stone jug

I'm scared o' that child
I'm scared o' that child
I'm scared o' that child
Because I'm too young to die!
Oh, yeah!

We had a date and I couldn't make it
That's what made 'er mad
Now I'm lookin' at two brown eyes
They turned greenish-gray

I'm scared o' that child
I'm scared o' that child
I'm scared o' that child
Because I'm too young to die!

I called my baby
And I told 'er I would be late
'time my baby opened the door
I looked in the barrel of a .38

I'm scared o' that child
I'm scared o' that child
I'm scared o' that child
'cause I'm too young to die!
