[Chorus: Merle Haggard]
Tell me why baby, why baby, why baby, why?
You make me cry baby, cry baby, cry baby, cry
You know that I'll love you 'til the day that I die
So tell me why baby, why baby, why baby, why

[Verse 1: Willie Nelson]
Well I got a crow I want to pick with you
Just like last time when the feathers flew
You're running wild kicking up your heels
Leaving me home with a handful of bills

[Chorus: Merle Haggard]
Tell me why baby, why baby, why baby, why?
You make me cry baby, cry baby, cry baby, cry
You know that I'll love you 'til the day that I die
So tell me why baby, why baby, why baby, why

[Verse 2: Merle Haggard]
Well now I don't know but I've heard say
That every little dog's is gonna have his day
You better pay attention don't you dare forget
Cause I'm just a little bitty puppy yet

[Chorus: Merle Haggard]
Tell me why baby, why baby, why baby, why?
You make me cry baby, cry baby, cry baby, cry
You know that I'll love you 'til the day that I die
So tell me why baby, why baby, why baby, why
[Chorus: Merle Haggard]
Tell me why baby, why baby, why baby, why?
You make me cry baby, cry baby, cry baby, cry
You know that I'll love you 'til the day that I die
So tell me why baby, why baby, why baby, why
You know that I'll love you 'til the day that I die
So tell me why baby, why baby, why baby, why
