Songinfo
"
My Babe" is a Chicago blues song and a blues standard written by Willie Dixon for Little Walter. Released in 1955 on Checker Records, a subsidiary of Chess Records. Dixon based "My Babe" on the traditional gospel song "
This Train (Is Bound For Glory)", recorded by Sister Rosetta Tharpe as "This Train". He reworked the arrangement and lyrics from the sacred (the procession of saints into Heaven) into the secular (a story about a woman that won't stand for her man to cheat): "My baby, she don't stand no cheating, my babe, she don't stand none of that midnight creeping."

Lyrics
My baby, don't stand no cheatin', my babe
Oh yeah, she don't stand no cheatin', my babe
Oh yeah, she don't stand no cheatin'
She don't stand none of that midnight creepin'

She don't do nothin' but kiss and hug me
My babe, true little baby, my babe
My baby don't stand no cheatin', my babe
Oh, no, she don't stand no cheatin', my babe
