Orbison, Roy - You're My Baby Lyrics






I love that hair, long an' black
Hangin' down to the middle of your back
Don't cut it off whatever you do
I need it to run my fingers through
'Cause you're my baby, ah-ah, you're my sugar
Don't mean maybe, you're my baby
Got me a dollar that I saved
Saved it up for a rainy day
Everybody's callin' for bills that's due
But they don't catch me, I'll spend it on you
'Cause you're my baby, ah-ah, you're my sugar
Don't mean maybe, you're my baby

Got me a guitar, got a six strings
And a picker to make 'em ring
Every string's gotta know what to do
'Cause I'm gonna use 'em to serenade you
'Cause you're my baby, ah-ah, you're my sugar
Don't mean maybe, you're my baby

Well I had me a gal, she said she's mine
But she run around on me all the time
Now she's gone an' I'm glad we're through
'Cause I-I'm plum-flipped over you
'Cause you're my baby, ah-ah, you're my sugar
Don't mean maybe, you're my baby

Oh, baby-baby, yeah you're my baby
Well I don't mean maybe
You drive me crazy
I love you baby, you're my babydoll

Orbison, Roy You're My Baby Comments
  1. G.... ....

    very different with Walk The Line 2005 movie version that the actor Jonathan Rice sang...

  2. M.... S....

    Roy Orbison - You're My Baby

    M.... S....

    Tinorbison

  3. c.... ....

    his best rockabilly , much better than the original version of Johnny Cash

  4. H.... J....

    I've always loved it 💜💜💜

  5. T.... ....

    Thumbs up if you're here because of "Walk the line" movie....

  6. Z.... F....

    rockabilly

  7. E.... K....

    No Roy orbinson is better

  8. J.... J....

    https://youtu.be/oEmCUj44EfY we've done a cover! :)

  9. m.... ....

    i like both versions tbh, johnny cash is one of my favourite singers, but i think roy orbison did a good job with this! and he did take out the little wooley booger bit lol!

  10. J.... W....

    For all you people cash wrote it for Roy who then turned it into a 2 step and then Jonathan rice is playing Roy in walk the line who played this song

  11. J.... H....

    Absolutely a knock out number!
    Cant have enough ❤️!

  12. P.... M....

    Not better, not worse, just different!

  13. H.... D....

    Guys cmon. People are complaining that this is a Johnny cash song and he's bad because he's singing it, but TBH I like this one better. Even tho Johnny cash is the man, you HAVE to agree that the pace Roy gave this song made it so much more catchy.

    H.... D....

    A rockabilly pace.

    H.... D....

    It was originally a poem, not a song Cash wrote it for his wife. Roy Orbison did a great job of putting it to Rockabilly. Johnny cash did try recording it with a guitar but this sounds better

    H.... D....

    Also bare in mind that they were best friends. Johnny probably gave to him to release anyway.

  14. A.... G....

    Boooooo👇

  15. A.... G....

    +ryan mycoon Other vrsion is better

  16. A.... G....

    Johnny Cash Version is better

    A.... G....

    Andres Garcia Agree but this version was the most well known

  17. P.... G....

    My favourite song

  18. P.... G....

    My voice

  19. S.... ....

    All thumbs up !!!

  20. R.... R....

    Hardly anything Roy sang with Sun would hint at the style and talents he would discover at Monument. However, this is probably one of my favorite Orbison Sun tracks. Roy's voice is still thin and a bit high but he really sings this with great enthusiasm and I would be willing to bet the guitar work is all Roy too!

  21. M.... ....

    Bolan took this and Howlin' Wolf's "You'll Be Mine" and, voila, "Jeepster."

  22. e.... ....

    but i dont feel like johnathan was attempting to mimic or imitate him, he didnt even try to

  23. J.... G....

    nope Jonathan Rice was Roy Orbison in the movie and did the 2 step of Johnny Cash's song You're My Baby

  24. J.... A....

    I think actually Joaquin sang it in Walk The Line :P

    J.... A....

    no johnathan rice sang it. its Johnny cash's song but Orbison turned it into a two-step

  25. s.... s....

    Everyone in the film walk the line there amazing hats off to them all

  26. A.... K....

    With that i totally agree, its a good version, but a terrible attempt at imitating Roy Orbison

  27. m.... ....

    If you're only thinking of it as a new, different remake of Roy Orbison's version, I don't think he did a bad job, but he's supposed to be imitating Roy Orbison... he did an absolutely terrible job at that.

  28. A.... K....

    Nope, batteries are good. He did do a good job, not as good as Roy, but good nonetheless.

  29. m.... ....

    I think you need to change the batteries in your hearing aids...

  30. b.... ....

    yes, Johnny Cash wrote this

  31. J.... M....

    Woo roy orbison is RockNRoll!

  32. F.... J....

    @MsBela30 you can get em here
    ultimateguitar

  33. M.... ....

    He sings too fast for me... anyone knows where to get the lyrics?
    I love this song

  34. A.... K....

    Jonathan Rice did a pretty good job at playing this song as Roy Orbison in Walk the Line

  35. A.... K....

    Yeah, Roy made it a song.

  36. G.... I....

    johnny cash version wasnt a song it was a poem for his wife

  37. P.... ....

    @martoru1 Ya Cash wrote it and Orbison turned it into a two step

  38. C.... L....

    johnny cash wrote this?

    C.... L....

    Heavy Dog yes Johnny Cash wrote You’re My Baby

  39. K.... M....

    Original (Johnny Cash) still better, but this song is amazing whoever sings it!

  40. M.... ....

    Gotta love it <3

  41. J.... A....
