Lyrics
- Autumn, Autumn, look what you’ve done
You’ve made a baby of me
Autumn, Autumn, your seeting sun
Pictures a sad memory
Whenever leaves begin to fall
Home again I seem to be
Chorus
I get blue thru and thru
When the leaves come a tumbling
Down from the trees, down thru the breeze
I always sigh and I cry when the sun
Says “Goodbye” to the birds and the bees
Their sweet melodies
I never shed a tear when the summer days are here
But when it’s autumn time
Ev’ry thought of mine seems so dark and drear
I always sing that lonesome
Spring Song melody because you see
It makes me think of someone
In a gingham gown in my home town
I hear my old girl say a pray’r
Beside my mother’s vacant chair
I get so blue thru and thru
When the leaves come a tumbling down
- Autumn, Autumn, seems like you know
You took my best pal from me
Autumn, Autumn, long, long ago
Now you feel sorry I see
I know your leaves are just your tears
Falling in sweet sympathy
