Verse 1
I did all that I could but it still wasn’t enough for you.
I did all that I could but it still wasn’t enough for you.
Every time we get together, lord, now we always sing the blues.
Now my baby she’s gone. Lord my baby she just went away.
Now my baby she’s gone. Lord my baby she just went away.
And she won’t be coming back lord, from the letter she wrote the other day.
She wrote bye bye, bye bye, my baby bye bye.
She wrote so long, my lover so long.
And she won’t be coming back lord, from the letter she wrote the other day.
Verse 2
Now my baby she’s gone. Lord my baby she just went away.
Now my baby she’s gone. Lord my baby she just went away.
And she won’t be coming back lord From the letter she wrote the other day.
She wrote bye bye, bye bye, my baby bye bye.
She wrote so long, my lover so long.
And she won’t be coming back lord, from the letter she wrote the other day.
Verse 3
I did all that I could but it still wasn’t enough for you.
I did all that I could but it still wasn’t enough for you.
Every time we get together, lord, now we always sing the blues.
Now my baby she’s gone. Lord my baby she just went away.
Now my baby she’s gone. Lord my baby she just went away.
And she won’t be coming back lord From the letter she wrote the other day.
She wrote bye bye, bye bye, my baby bye bye
She wrote so long, my lover so long.
And she won’t be coming back lord, from the letter she wrote the other day.
