Evenin' creeping down the mountain
Wakes up mister firefly
Bullfrog settin' there starts a-croakin'
But I don't care
Since I kissed my baby goodbye
South wind shakes the old magnolia
Moon man likes the dingy sky
Star, star sprinklin' gold on the river
But still I'm cold
Since I kissed my baby goodbye
Since my baby and me parted company
I can't see what's the diff'
If I live or I die
Oh Lord, I'm takin' such a beatin'
I'm no good, even cheatin'
Since I kissed my baby goodbye
