Good-Bye Ma Baby 1899

by James Pitt-Payne, LOndon UK - 24 March 2005

A lazy goodfornothin' coon done
had a gal called Cindy
who used to work from morn' till night
to buy this nigger bread.
When she took sick and lost her job
then this bad dingy shook her
he pawned her shoes to buy his booze
and then to her he said:

Goodbye Ma Baby
Goodbye Ma Lady love
I'se guine to leave you in the mornin'
If you had money
I'd be your turtle dove
Goodbye Ma Ragtime Gal.

Goodbye Ma Baby
Goodbye Ma Lady love
I'se guine to leave you in the mornin'
If you had money
I'd be your turtle dove
Goodbye Ma Ragtime Gal.

This coon next got filled up on gin
then looked around for trouble,
He got into a razor fight
and carved a nigger's head,
as he rode off in the patrol
he thought of his gal Cindy
and when the judge called out six months
these words he sadly said:

Goodbye Ma Baby
Goodbye Ma Lady love
I'se guine to leave you in the mornin'
If you had money
I'd be your turtle dove
Goodbye Ma Ragtime Gal.

Goodbye Ma Baby
Goodbye Ma Lady love
I'se guine to leave you in the mornin'
If you had money
I'd be your turtle dove
Goodbye Ma Ragtime Gal.
