While the track here only has vocals by Boone, in the film, the performance of this song by Bayou (Boone) is interrupted by his brother Willie Earl (Austin Scott), who stumbles in late and high on heroin and starts singing the song. Bayou lets Willie Earl take the chorus to save the situation.
(Verse)
[BAYOU]
I got a gal who's always late
Any time we have a date
But I love her
Yes, I love her
I'm gonna walk her to her gate
And see if I can get it straight
'Cause i want her
I'm gonna ask her
(Chorus)
Is you is or is you ain't my baby?
The way you're actin' lately make me doubt
You is still my baby, baby
Seems my flame in your heart's done gone out
A woman is a creature that has always been strange
Just when you're sure of one, you find she's gone and made a change
Is you is or is you ain't my baby?
Maybe baby's found somebody new
Or is my baby still my baby truе?
(Instrumental break)
A woman is a creaturе that has always been strange
Just when you're sure of one, you find she's gone and made a change
You is my baby
Maybe baby's found somebody new
Or is my baby my baby true?
