Where Were You Baby? - (Josh White)
2
As recorded by Donmclean
3
I looked through every barroom
4
And I searched from coast to coast
5
You were scarce as low-cost housing
6
Baby when I needed you most
7
And where were you baby, when my heart went out?
8
You left me ba___by, in all this darkness and doubt
9
Now I peeked through fancy boudoirs
10
And I peeked through window grates
11
I only saw Republicans, romancing Southern states
12
And where were you baby, when my heart went out?
13
You left me ba___by, in all this darkness and doubt
14
Now I tried to replace you with a streetwalker named Desire
15
But prices up so high, hell I couldn't afford to try her
16
It takes you my baby, baby, baby - to put my body out
17
You left me baby, in all___ this darkness and doubt
18
But tonight I think I'm gonna take some good advice
19
I'm gonna look around and find somebody that's a really nice
20
Well perhaps a banker's daughter and if her Papa's a cuss
21
Well I hope to do to her what her Papa does to us
22
And we'll have fancy shack and a fancy Cadillac
23
And she'll be studying to be, a nymphomaniac
24
And we'll have a little rye and we'll play a little gin
25
We'll have another rye and we'll play another gin
26
And then we'll have another rye just to get a little glow
27
Have another rye just to make the conversation flow
28
And then we'll have another rye and we'll play a little gin
29
We'll have another rye and we'll tune some music in
30
And then we'll have another gin.... And we'll play a little rye...
31
And we'll suddenly realize that we're getting kind of high
32
And so we'll turn the lights down low...... To keep the bulbs from getting hot
33
And we'll play a little game called.. "Yes?".... "No!"...
34
Why not?
35
But tonight I think I'm gonna find me something swell
36
So I can wake up in the morning... Miserable as hell
37
Now when butter costs a dollar, bread costs more than cake
38
Come back soon cause, babe, think of what a gal like you could make
39
Yes come back baby, baby, baby - don't ever say that we're through
40
Cos this time, pretty baby.. I'd like to walk right out on you!
