When I first met the lil' girl
I didn' know what I was doin'
Now we all tied up
And my life [bad word] 

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!
