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
