[MAYOR DOBBS]
Don't deny him a better way of life when he can grow up with pride
Folks will laugh and talk behind his back if you bring home a bastard child
[ALICE]
You can't take him, he's my baby. You can't take my baby boy
Daddy, don't you let him, momma, don't let him
You can't take my baby boy
[MAYOR DOBBS]
Don't be foolish, why would you want to do this
Don't you want what's best for him
[STANFORD]]
I know people wealthy and agreeable who would like to take him in
[ALICE]
You can't take him
NO!
Don’t take him
You can’t take my baby boy.
[ALICE + MAMA MURPHY]
Daddy, don't you let him
[ALICE]
Momma, don't let him. You can’t take my baby boy.
[DADDY MURPHY]
Don’t be selfish, let ‘em go and help him leave behind a world of shame
If he’s ridiculed and they may bother him at school
You’ll only have yourself to blame
[ALICE]
Please don’t take him!
[MAMA MURPHY]
He’s our Grandson
[ALICE]
No, don’t take him
[MAMA MURPHY]
He’s our only one
[ALICE]
You can’t take my baby boy.
[MAYOR DOBBS]
I’m doing you a favor, you can thank me later for making your life easier
