Lyrics:

[instrumental verse intro]

Well it's bye bye, pretty baby, baby bye bye
Bye bye, pretty baby, baby bye bye
Well I'll prob'ly never see you anymore, may God bless you everywhere you go
But it's bye bye, pretty baby, baby bye bye

[instrumental verse]

Well I'm leavin' sweet baby, can't carry you
Said I'm leavin', sweet baby, don't you wanna go?
Well I'll prob'ly never see you anymore, may God bless you everywhere you go
But it's bye bye, pretty baby, baby bye bye

[instrumental verse]

Well I tried to love my sweet woman, she couldn't understand
Said I tried to love my sweet woman, she didn't understand
Well I tried to love my sweet woman, but the woman didn't seem to understand
But I know she's realized it's trouble since she met another man

So it's bye bye, pretty baby, baby bye bye
Bye bye, pretty baby, baby bye bye
Well I'll prob'ly never see you anymore, may God bless you everywhere you go
For it's bye bye, pretty baby, baby bye bye

[outro, 10 bars]
