My Melancholy Baby

(Ernie Burnett / George A. Norton / Maybelle E. Watson 1911)

Al Bowlly acc. by orchestra, directed by Ray Noble


Come sweetheart mine, don't sit and pine
Tell me of the cares that make you feel so blue
I'm sorry hun', what have I done
Have I ever said an unkind word to you

My love is true, and just for you
I'll do almost anything at any time
Dear, when you sigh, or when you cry
Something seems to grip this very heart of mine

Come to me my melancholy baby
Cuddle up and don't be blue
All your fears are foolish fancy, maybe
You know, honey, I'm in love with you

Every cloud must have it's silver lining
So wait until the sun shines through
Smile, my honey dear, while I kiss away each tear
Or else I shall be melancholy too

Come to me my melancholy baby
Cuddle up and don't be blue
All your fears are foolish fancy, maybe
Why you know, honey, I'm in love with you

Every cloud must have it's silver lining
So wait until the sun shines through
Smile, my honey dear, while I kiss away each tear
Or else I shall be melancholy too
