Bye, bye, baby
Remember you're my baby
When they give you the eye
Although I know that you care
Won't you write and declare
That though on the loose
You are still on the square
I'll be gloomy
But send that rainbow to me
Then my shadows will fly
Though you'll be gone for a while
I know that I'll be smilin'
With my baby by and by, and by
With my baby by and by
(In the sweet by and by)
(Bye, bye, baby, bye, bye, baby, bye, bye)
(We will meet on the beautiful shore)
(Bye, bye pretty baby)
(You better remember you're my baby)
(When they give you the eye, my my)
(Although I know that you care)
(Won't you write and declare)
(Declare that though on the loose)
(You are still staying on the square)
I'll be gloomy
(But send that rainbow to me)
Then my shadows will fly
Though you'll be gone for awhile
I know that I'll be smiling
With my baby by and by
And by
With my baby, by and by
I'll be in my room alone
Every post meridian
And I'll be with my diary
And that book by Mister Gideon
Bye, bye, baby
Remember you're my baby
When they give you the eye
And just to show that I care
I will write and declare
That I'm on the loose
But I'll stay on the square
I'll be lonely
But even though I'm lonely
There'll be no other guy
Though I'll be gone for a while
I know that I'll be smiling
With my baby by and by, and by
With my baby, by and by
(I'll be gloomy)
(But send that rainbow to me)
(Then my shadows will fly)
(Though you'll be gone for a while)
(I know that I'll be smiling)
(With my baby bye and bye)
(Bye, bye, baby)
(Remember you're my baby)
(When they give you the eye)
(Although I know that you care)
(Won't you write and declare)
That though on the loose
You are still on the square
I'll be gloomy
But send that rainbow to me
Then my shadows will fly
Though you'll be gone for a while
I know that I'll be smiling
With my baby bye and bye
With my wonderful baby
By and by
(Bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye)
