Hank Locklin Lyrics
"My Melancholy Baby"

(George A. Norton - Ernie Burnett - Maybelle E. Watson)

Come sweetheart mine don't sit and pine
Tell me of 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 anytime
Dear when you sigh or when you cry
Something seems to grip this very heart of mine.

So come to me my melancholy baby
Cuddle up and don't feel 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 that sun shines through
Smile my honey dear while I kiss away each tear
Or else I shall be melancholy too...
