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

 Chorus

 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
