Bethel Steele - Gentle Babe

"Gentle Babe"
by Bethel Steele
from "Of Love & Whiskey" (2012)

In the morning time, on the cold winter days

When the frost bites, at skin it can taste

When the dawn breaks free from the hills

When the smell of, wood fire fills



Hold me gently babe

Rock me soft and slow

Kiss me strong and sweetly

Hold me gentle babe



In the afternoon, when the sun settles down

In the evening, when tide’s taking ground

Draw your breath, hold it in through the night

When the morning comes, let it go out of sight



Hold me gently babe

Rock me soft and slow

Kiss me strong and sweetly

Hold me gentle babe



Hold me gently babe

Rock me soft and slow

Kiss me strong and sweetly

Hold me gentle babe
