Lyrics:

Oh, remember the mocking bird, my baby bun,
He used to sing for his supper baby.

Yes, he use to sing for his supper babe,
He used to sing so sweet, since my baby left me, he ain't sang in two long days.

Oh, remember the blue birds and the honey bees,
They used to sing for the sunshine.
Yes, they used to sing for the flowers,
They used to sing so sweet.

But-a, since my baby left me, they ain't sang in two long days.

Hey! Pretty baby, come on back to me.
Make everybody happy as can be.
So baby, if you'll please come home again, you know I'll kiss you for my supper,
You know I'll kiss you for my dinner baby, yeah!

But-a if you don't come back you know I'll have to starve to death,
'Cos I ain't had one kiss all day now.
Please remember, you got to remember, you got to remember our love.

Come back, come on back in my arms,
I'll make everything that better.
(Come on baby, hurry up now)
(Can you hear me calling you back, Come on baby, stop jiving around, Hurry home, hurry home)
