Blind Baby Lyrics


KooperBlind baby - ya was born, could not see
Blind baby - so much better off than meYour father was down-hearted
When the doctor broke the news
He couldn't understand how his life was so abused
And you cannot feel your mama
Though you suckle of her breast
Doncha know she's bound to leave you
Just like all the rest
Blind baby - ya was born, could not see
Blind baby - so much better off than meYa cannot read the paper-ya cannot watch TV
Ya cannot see the hopelessness in someone's eyes like me
Ya cant be able to tell who it was
Who spat into your face
But it don't take sight to know what it's like
To always be last placeBlind baby - ya was born, could not see
Blind baby - so much better off than meI know your life is darkness but you smile instead of cry
But there must be truth in darkness
Cause the light just hurts my eyes

Blind baby - ya was born, could not see
Blind baby - so much better off than me
So much better off
Better off than me

Al Kooper (born Alan Peter Kuperschmidt February 5, 1944, Brooklyn, New York) is an American songwriter, producer and musician, probably best known for organizing the group Blood, Sweat & Tears, though he didn't stay with the group long enough to share its popularity. His first musical success was as a 14-year-old guitarist in the Royal Teens, best known for their novelty blues riff, "Short Shorts". In 1960, he joined the song-writing team of Bob Brass and Irwin Levine, who wrote the hit, "This Diamond Ring", for Gary Lewis And The Playboys. When he was 21, he moved to Greenwich Village.
