about

My Melancholy Baby is a song composed in 1911 by George A. Norton with lyrics by Maybelle Watson and Ernie Burnett.

lyrics

Come sweetheart mine don't sit and pine
Tell me all the cares that make you feel so blue
What have I done? Answer me, hon'
Have I ever said an unkind word to you?
My love is true and just for you
I'd 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 dear that I'm in love with you
Every cloud must have a silver lining
Wait until the sun shines through
Smile, my honey dear while I kiss away each tear
Or else I shall be melancholy too

Birds in the trees, whispering breeze
Shouldn't fail to lull you into peaceful dreams
So tell me why sadly you sigh
Sitting at the window where the pale moon beams
You shouldn't grieve, try and believe
Life is always sunshine when the heart beats true
Banish your fears, smile through your tears
When you're sad it makes me feel the same as you

Come to me my melancholy baby
Cuddle up and don't be blue
All your fears are foolish fancy, maybe
You know dear that I'm in love with you
Every cloud must have a silver lining
Wait until the sun shines through
Smile, my honey dear while I kiss away each tear
Or else I shall be melancholy too
