My Melancholy Baby - Earl "Fatha" Hines, Earl Hines

Oh me, oh my sweet baby said goodbye

Oh no one else could take her place in my life

Oh we had something good

So tell me why she would

Go and make me cry

Oh me, oh my sweet baby said goodbye

I remember how she’d hold me And say she’d stay forever true

Back when the future looked so rosy

But tonight it’s lookin’mighty blue

Don’t know what i didn’t give her

That she gets from someone new

I only know how much i miss her

And wish my heart was only broke in two

Oh me, oh my sweet baby said goodbye

Oh no one else could take her place in my life

Oh we had something good

So tell me why she would

Go and make me cry

Oh me, oh my Why did she go and make me cry

Oh me, oh my sweet baby said goodbye
