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      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      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
