Before too long
There’s a baby gonna be born

Little bitty baby gonna be born
Life in your hands, life in your hands
Life in your hands
Now your daddy’s here

And your mama’s waitin’ on you
Your daddy’s here
And your mama she’s waitin’ on you
Life in your hands, life in your hands

Before too long

That little baby be grown up and gone
Before too long
Little bitty baby has a babe of her own
Life in your hands, life in your hands
Life in your hands
Before too long

There’s a baby gonna be born
Before too long
Little bitty baby gonna be born
Life in your hands, life in your hands
Life in your hands
