Lonesome Baby 1913

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 15 Sep 2004

Oh, Oh, I've read your loving letter,
Oh, Oh, it made me feel much better,
ever since I've left you,
I've been mighty blue,
I'm glad you're feeling that way too,
so lonely!
Oh, Oh, you wrote and said you need me,
Oh, Oh, it seems as though you can read me.
all my trunks were packed,
I bought my ticket too,
'cause I was coming back to you.

You're such a lonesome baby,
with your lonesome baby stare,
your arms were made for hugging
and your lips to be kissed,
and I'll make up for every bit
of loving we've missed,
Oh! you lonesome baby,
don't forget, I'm lonesome too,
for bye and bye
I'm coming back to you,
I'll put that smile back in your eyes of blue,
and that's not all I'm goin' to do
to my lonesome baby.

You're my lonesome baby,
with your lonesome baby stare,
your arms were made for hugging
and your lips to be kissed,
and I'll make up for every bit
of loving we've missed,
Oh! you lonesome baby,
don't forget, I'm lonesome too,
for bye and bye
I'm coming back to you,
I'll put that smile back in your eyes of blue,
and that's not all I'm goin' to do
to my lonesome baby.

Oh, Oh, there's so much I was missing,
Oh, Oh, it may have been some kissing,
I've been missing lots of things,
but this is true,
the thing I've missed the most is you,
my honey!
Oh, Oh, I kept your photograph near me,
Oh, Oh, it seems as though it would cheer me,
but I took your picture out one lonely day,
and found I'd kissed your face away.

My Dearie, lonesome baby,
with your lonesome baby stare,
your arms were made for hugging
and your lips to be kissed,
and I'll make up for every bit
of loving we've missed,
Oh! you lonesome baby,
don't forget, I'm lonesome too,
for bye and bye
I'm coming back to you,
I'll put that smile back in your eyes of blue,
and that's not all I'm goin' to do
to my lonesome baby.

You're my lonesome baby,
with your lonesome baby stare,
your arms were made for hugging
and your lips to be kissed,
and I'll make up for every bit
of loving we've missed,
Oh! you lonesome baby,
don't forget, I'm lonesome too,
for bye and bye
I'm coming back to you,
I'll put that smile back in your eyes of blue,
and that's not all I'm goin' to do
to my lonesome baby.
