You can download without signing up for an account too, but that is much slower.
The only true lyrics are here, and no where else on the web.
(As a matter of fact, they're all lazy copycats, even copying a type mismatch in line 11
(which is also the wrong text: My baby said " Junior that's all right". They all have the extra space between the quotation mark and the word Junior).
"My pretty baby doncha you know they're born right" is the true text, as far as I understand.
