My baby left town and the mule laid down and died

My baby left town and the mule laid down and died

Baby left town, I laid down and cried



One, two, three four, five, six, seven, eight, nine ten

Red light, red light... red light, red light



Venus was a woman, she had a whole lot of charms

She got so much huggin', she wore out both her arms

Red light, red light



Columbus was an explorer, the greatest of his day

But he got all mixed up in Brooklyn and the poor guy lost his way

Red light, red light



Napoleon was a soldier, the greatest ever seen

But he learned all his manoeuvres along along with Josephine

Red light, red light



King Arthur was a hero, he was known everywhere

He had a round round table cause he couldn't stand, he couldn't stand, he couldn't stand a square

Red light, red light

Red light, red light.
