- Verse:
- I burned up ev'ry letter,
And thought that I'd feel better,
- I put away her picture too.
- Sent back each little present,
And tho' it wasn't pleasant,
- It seemed the wisest thing
to do.
- I've done ev'rything I could
and yet,
- It isn't very easy to forget.
-
- First Chorus:
- I wonder where my baby is
tonight,
- I wonder how my baby is
tonight,
- I wonder where she's gone,
And how she's getting on,
- I wonder why my baby doesn't
write.
- If she came back I wonder
what I'd do,
- I wonder did she find somebody
new,
- She didn't treat me fair,
And tho' I shouldn't care,
- I wonder where my baby is
tonight.
-
- Second "Charleston"
Chorus:
- I wonder does my baby do
the Charleston, Charleston,
- I wonder who is teaching
her the Charleston, Charleston,
- While I sit and sigh the
time goes draggin' by,
- I'd like to kill the guy
who wrote the Charleston, Charleston.
- We parted 'cause I couldn't
do the Charleston, Charleston,
- She'd still be here if I
could do the Charleston, Charleston,
- I'm takin' lessons now,
I'll win her back somehow,
- I wonder where my baby is
tonight.
