Pack up all my cares and woe, here I go, singing low,
Bye-bye Blackbird.
Where somebody waits for me, sugar’s sweet, so is she,
Bye-bye Blackbird.
No one here can love and understand me.
Oh, what hard-luck stories they all hand me.
Make my bed and light the light
I’ll arrive late tonight,
Blackbird, Bye-bye.
No one here can love and understand me.
Oh, what hard-luck stories they all hand me.
Make my bed and light the light
I’ll arrive late tonight,
Blackbird, Bye-bye.
Won’t you come home, bill bailey, won’t you come home
She moans the whole day long
I’ll do the cookin', honey, I’ll pay the rent
I know I’ve done you wrong
Remember that rainy evenin'
I threw you out… with nothin' but a fine tooth comb
I know I’m to blame, now… ain’t it a shame
Bill bailey, won’t you please come home
Won’t you come home, bill bailey, won’t you come home
She moans that whole day long
I’ll do the cookin' darlin', I’ll even pay the rent
I know, I’ve done you wrong
Remember that rainy evenin'
I drove you out, with nothin but a fine tooth comb
I know I’m to blame, ain’t that a shame
Bill Baily won’t you please come
Ma, he’s making eyes at me
Ma, he’s awful nice to me
Ma, he’s almost breaking my heart
I’m beside him
Mercy, let his conscience guide him
Ma, he wants to marry me
Be my honey bee
Every minute he gets bolder
Now he’s leaning on my shoulder
Ma, he’s kissing me
Every minute he gets bolder
Now he’s leaning on my shoulder
Ma, he’s kissing me
Oh!
You beautiful doll
You great big beautiful doll
Let me put my arms about you
I could never live without you
Oh!
You beautiful doll
You great big beautiful doll
If you ever leave me how my heart would ache?
I wanna hug you but I’m scared you’d break
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, you beautiful doll
Oh!
You beautiful doll
You great big beautiful doll
Let me put my arms about you?
I just could never live without you
Oh!
You beautiful doll
You great big beautiful doll
If you’d ever leave me how my heart would ache?
I wanna hug you but I’m scared you’d break
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, you beautiful doll
Come on and hear!
Come on and hear!
Alexander’s ragtime band!
Come on and hear!
Come on and hear!
It’s the best band in the land!
They can play a bugle call like you never heard before
So natural that you want to go to war
It’s just the bestest band what am, honey lamb
Come on along, come on along, let me take you by the hand
Up to the man, up to the man, who’s the leader of the band
And if you care to hear the Swanee River played in ragtime
Come on and hear, come on and hear,
Alexander’s Ragtime Band.
Come on along, come on along, let me take you by the hand
Up to the man, up to the man, who’s the leader of the band
And if you want to hear ol' Swanee River played in ragtime
Come on and hear, come on and hear,
Alexander’s Ragtime Band.
