Since I Kissed My Baby Goodbye
Composer(s): Cole Porter
Performer(s): Fred Astaire & The Delta Rhythm Boys



Oh, what nights, glory be
When my baby and me
Used to ramble lovers' lane
From sundown to dawn
Then a voodoo, I guess
Put the jinx on our happiness
And the mockin'bird's refrain
Is done dead and gone

Evenin' creepin' down the mountain
Wakes up Mister Firefly
Bullfrog, settin' there
Starts a-croakin', but I don't care
Since I kissed my baby goodbye
South wind shakes the ole magnolia
Moon-man light the dingy sky
Stars start sprinklin' gold
On the river, but still I'm cold
Since I kissed my baby goodbye
Since my baby and me
Parted company
I can't see what's the diff if I live or I die
Oh Lawd, I'm takin' such a beatin'
I'm no good, even cheatin'
Since I kissed my baby goodbye
