Where Were You Baby? - (Josh White)

As recorded by DonMclean



I looked through every barroom

And I searched from coast to coast

You were scarce as low-cost housing

Baby when I needed you most



And where were you baby, when my heart went out?

You left me ba___by, in all this darkness and doubt



Now I peeked through fancy boudoirs

And I peeked through window grates

 I only saw Republicans, romancing Southern states



And where were you baby, when my heart went out?

You left me ba___by, in all this darkness and doubt



Now I tried to replace you with a streetwalker named Desire

But prices up so high, hell I couldn't afford to try her

It takes you my baby, baby, baby — to put my body out

You left me baby, in all___ this darkness and doubt



But tonight I think I'm gonna take some good advice

I'm gonna look around and find somebody that's a really nice

Well perhaps a banker's daughter and if her Papa's a cuss

Well I hope to do to her what her Papa does to us



And we'll have fancy shack and a fancy Cadillac

And she'll be studying to be, a nymphomaniac

And we'll have a little rye and we'll play a little gin

We'll have another rye and we'll play another gin



And then we'll have another rye just to get a little glow

Have another rye just to make the conversation flow

And then we'll have another rye and we'll play a little gin

We'll have another rye and we'll tune some music in



And then we'll have another gin.... and we'll play a little rye...

And we'll suddenly realize that we're getting kind of high

And so we'll turn the lights down low...... to keep the bulbs from getting hot



And we'll play a little game called .. "Yes?"...."No!" ...

Why not?



But tonight I think I'm gonna find me something swell

So I can wake up in the morning... miserable as hell



Now when butter costs a dollar, bread costs more than cake

Come back soon cause, babe, think of what a gal like you could make

Yes come back baby, baby, baby — don't ever say that we're through

Cos this time, pretty baby.. I'd like to walk right out on you!
