Oh, remember the mocking bird, my baby bun
He used to sing for his supper, babe
Yes, he used to sing for his supper, babe
He used to sing so sweet
But since my baby left me, he ain't sang for two long days

Oh, remember the bluebirds and the honey bees
They used to sing for the sunshine
Yes, they used to sing for the honey, babe
They used to sing so sweet
But since my baby left me, they ain't sang in two long days

Hey, pretty baby, come on back to me
Make everybody just as happy as can be, yeah

So baby, if you'll please, come home again
Well, I'll kiss you for my supper, yeah
Yeah, I'll kiss you for my dinner, babe now
And if you don't come back you know I'll have to starve to death
'Cause I ain't had one kiss all day now, oh Lord

Please, remember, got to remember
Come on back
Come on back in my arms
I'll make everything that better
Come on, baby, hurry home, hurry home, hurry home
