a 1922 popular song
words and music by Bert Dunbar
The sheet music:
Accompaniment:
Lyrics
- Jimmy called her his baby
‘Tho he couldn’t tell why
Perhaps her smiles were so guileless
Or her glances so shy
He was so sentimental
That each night ‘neath the moon
With his arm well around her
This old tale he would croon (so softly)
Chorus:
Baby, Baby, how I love to cuddle you
(Maybe I see more in you than others do)
Your baby smile has captured my heart
Seems ‘tho the world were just goin’ to start
Baby, Baby, I’ve fallen in love with you
- Jimmy married that girlie
But I’m sorry to say
‘Tho his love never wearied
Hers was waning away
Yet his heart was not broken
For if you would know why
Girlie’s new love was Baby
And this sweet lullaby (he’d murmur)
