My Melancholy Baby

Why oh why does this young man cry Who has broken his fragile heart The girl of his dreams so it seems Had never loved him from the start She left him there sad in despair Only to drown in salty tears Full of folly and melancholy As it went on for years and years Then one day in the month of May There came a knocking at his door As if carved in wood there she stood Crying sorry for the times before Take me back as her voice would crack Please forgive my prior disgrace Now turning red he then shook his head And slammed the door right in her face
