Today I sing the blues
I lost my girl to a bad deed
Today I sing the blues
I’m the bluest of blues indeed
She gave me love like a flame
The fire in my heart burned for her
She gave me love like a flame
But like a foolish man I turned from her
[hook]
She was my baby and now I cry
She was my baby and now I cry!
I used to kiss her goodmorning
Now I can’t even kiss her goodbye
Yesterday I seen my baby walkin’
I see my baby walkin’ away
She used to walk her sexy walk with me
Not no more since I done betrayed
Dear God what am I to do?
What am I to do without my baby?
I just want to hold her so tight lord
But my baby, my baby says we’re through
She was my baby and now I cry
She was my baby and now I cry!
I used to kiss her goodmorning
Now I can’t even kiss her goodbye
I was no good
Thats right! I said I was no good
I played with my baby’s heart
I didnt do what a good man should
I loved my darling
Lord I loved my baby so
Love that I never showed
Now my baby’s tellin’ me,
She tellin’ me I gotta go
She was my baby and now I cry
She was my baby and now I cry!
I used to kiss her goodmorning
Now I can’t even kiss her goodbye
