Oh, remember
The mockin' bird, my baby bought
He used to sing for his supper, baby
Yes, he used to sing for his dinner, baby
He used to sing so sweet
But, since my baby left me
He ain't sang a thing all day

Oh, remember
The bluebirds and the honey-bees
They used to sing for the sunshine
Yes, they used to sing for the baby
They used to sing so sweet
But since my baby left me
Ain't sang a thing all day

Hey, pretty baby
Come on back to me
Make everybody
Happy as can be now

Oh, baby
They used to sing for the sunshine
Yes, they used to sing for the baby
They used to sing so sweet
But since my baby left me
Ain't sang a thing all day
