Vote submitted, entered, and counted! I did my civic-not-that-it-matters duty! More good news: today’s song with “baby” in the title is the last in a line of three-in-a-row country songs. At least this one is by someone “everybody” knows, and it has a great punch line. And here it is.
I Sleep Just Like a Baby - George Jones
What’s the punch line?
Every night I sleep just like a baby
I wake up every hour and cry
Only the Possum would give us a line like that.
Another one of his “she’s gone and left me blues” tunes from the maestro of the pain-filled song.
And rest assured, tomorrow’s song will NOT be anything remotely related to country! 
I Sleep Just Like a Baby
Written by Jesse Chambers, Larry Jenkins, and Billy Sherrill
Recorded by George Jones
From You Oughta Be Here With Me, 1990
It broke my heart when she told me goodbye:

My better judgement told me I could not play the counter song. That being said dig the George guy he is peaceful type of musician was very relaxing.
