Bright Star (Original Broadway Cast Recording)
Please, Don't Take Him
Don't deny him a better way of life
Where he can grow up with pride
Folks will laugh and talk behind his back
If you bring home a bastard child
You can't take him
He's my baby
You can't take my baby boy
Daddy, don't you let him
Mama, don't let him
You can't take my baby boy
Don't be foolish
Why would you want to do this?
Don't you want what's best for him?
I know people, wealthy and agreeable
Who would like to take him in
You can't take him
No, don't take him
You can't take my baby boy
Daddy, don't you let him
Mama, don't let him
You can't take my baby boy (no)
Don't be selfish
Let him go and help him leave behind a world of shame
If he's ridiculed and they make fun of him at school
You'll only have yourself to blame
Please, don't take him (he's our grandson)
No, don't take him (He's our only one!)
You can't take my baby boy
No, no, no
No, no, no
I'm doing you a favor
You can thank me later
For making your life easier
Where he can grow up with pride
Folks will laugh and talk behind his back
If you bring home a bastard child
You can't take him
He's my baby
You can't take my baby boy
Daddy, don't you let him
Mama, don't let him
You can't take my baby boy
Don't be foolish
Why would you want to do this?
Don't you want what's best for him?
I know people, wealthy and agreeable
Who would like to take him in
You can't take him
No, don't take him
You can't take my baby boy
Daddy, don't you let him
Mama, don't let him
You can't take my baby boy (no)
Don't be selfish
Let him go and help him leave behind a world of shame
If he's ridiculed and they make fun of him at school
You'll only have yourself to blame
Please, don't take him (he's our grandson)
No, don't take him (He's our only one!)
You can't take my baby boy
No, no, no
No, no, no
I'm doing you a favor
You can thank me later
For making your life easier
