Bye, bye, baby
Remember you're my baby
When they give you the eye
Although I know that you care
Won't you write and declare
That though on the loose
You are still on the square

I'll be gloomy
But send that rainbow to me
Then my shadows will fly
Though you'll be gone for a while
I know that I'll be smiling
With my baby by and by and by
With my baby by and by

In the sweet by and by
Bye-bye, baby, bye-bye
We’ll go meet on the beautiful shore
Baby, bye, goodbye
Bye-bye, pretty baby
You better remember you're my baby
When they give you the eye
My, my!
Although I know that you care
Won't you write and declare
Declare that though on the loose
You are still staying on the square

I'll be gloomy
But send that rainbow to me
Then my shadows will fly
Though you'll be gone for awhile
I know that I'll be smiling
With my baby by and by and by
With my baby by and by

I'll be in my room alone
Every postmeridian
And I'll be with my diary
And that book by Mister Gideon

Bye-bye, baby
Remember you're my baby
When they give you the eye
And just to show that I care
I will write and declare
That I'm on the loose
But I'll stay on the square

I'll be lonely
But even though I'm lonely
There'll be no other guy
Though I'll be gone for a while
I know that I'll be smiling
With my baby by and by and by
With my baby by and by

I'll be gloomy
But send that rainbow to me
Then my shadows will fly
Though you'll be gone for a while
I know that I'll be smiling
With my baby by and by

Bye-bye, baby
Remember you're my baby
When they give you the eye
Although I know that you care
Won't you write and declare
That though on the loose
You are still on the square

I'll be gloomy
But send that rainbow to me
Then my shadows will fly
Though you'll be gone for a while
I know that I'll be smiling
With my baby by and by
And by
With my wonderful baby
By and by
Bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye
