Verse:

I burned up ev -'ry let -ter, And thought that I'd feel bet -ter;

I put a -way her pic -ture too.

Sent back each lit -tle pre -sent, And tho' it was -n't pleas -ant,

It seemed the wis -est thing to do

I've done ev -'ry -thing I could and yet

It is -n't ve -ry ea -sy to for -get

 

First Chorus:

I won -der where my ba -by is to -night

I won -der how my ba -by is to -night

I won -der where she's gone, And how she's get -ting on;

I won -der why my ba -by does -n't write

If she came back I won -der what I'd do

I won -der did she find some -bod -y new

She did -n't treat me fair, And tho' I should -n't care;

I won -der where my ba -by is to -night

 

Second "Charleston" Chorus:

I won -der does my ba -by do the Charles -ton Charles -ton

I won -der who is teach -ing her the Charles -ton Charles -ton

While I sit and sigh the time goes drag -gin' by;

I'd like to kill the guy who wrote the Charles -ton Charles -ton

We part -ed 'cause I could -n't do the Charles -ton Charles -ton

She'd still be here if I could do the Charles -ton Charles -ton

I'm tak -in' les -sons now; I'll win her back some -how

I won -der where my ba -by is to -night
