Goodbye (Baby) ("Goodbye") - Elmore James

Goodbye baby, so long girl.

I know you ain’t gonna like it,

But I’m stepping right out in your world

For I’m coming to your party

And I won’t be able to stay,

But I’m gonna kiss you one more time, Lord,

Then I’m going away.

Goodbye baby hmm, baby goodbye hmm.

You may be lonely, yeah, you may be hurt,

Like a fool I gave you candy,

You turned around and treated me like dirt.

But still I’m gonna come to your party

And just before the break of day

I’m gonna touch you one more time, Lord,

Then I’m going away.

Sing it to me again

Goodbye baby hmm ha, baby goodbye.

Look out, what you see?

I see a train a-coming,

A train a-coming down the long lonesome track.

I’ll tell you, girl, I gotta go on home now,

But deep down in your heart

You know that someday I’m, I’m coming back

And I’m gonna look for you at your party,

'Cause all the time I know that I’ll find you there

And listen, I’m gonna dance with you

One more time, oh yeah.

Sing it to me tonight now

Goodbye baby, sing it sweet baby goodbye.

Lord, you’re singing so sweet tonight Goodbye baby

Goodbye baby baby baby baby goodbye

I’ll see you around sometime, Lord Goodbye baby…
