There Goes My Baby Lyrics

All alone I sit looking out of the window
And the rain just keeps coming on down
Well, I cried to myself so many things have I done wrong
Now I'm watching you walk out

There goes my baby moving on down the line
Wonder where, wonder where
Wonder where he is bound
I broke his heart and made him cry
Now I'm alone, so all alone
What can I do? What can I do?

(There goes my baby.) What can I do?
(There goes my baby.)
Said I'll sing this sad, sad song. (There goes my baby.)
Oh, oh, oh
I broke his heart and I made him cry
Now I'm alone, so all alone
What can I do? What can I do?

Where is he going?
How is he? What is he going through?
Where is he going and what on earth could he be going through?
I wanna know

There goes my baby moving on down the line
Wonder where, wonder where
Wonder where he is bound
I broke his heart and made him cry
Now I'm alone, so all alone
What can I do? What can I do?
Where is he going?
How is he? What is he going through?
Where is he going and what on earth could he be going through?
I wanna know

There goes my baby moving on down the line
Oooh, baby. Come on home. Oh, oh, oh
I broke his heart and made him cry
Now I'm alone, so all alone
What can I do? What can I do?

(There goes my baby.) Sing this song forever
(There goes my baby.) Till we're back together
(There goes my baby.) Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, ohhh
(There goes my baby.) Wee, eee, eee, eee, eee, eee, eee, eee, eee, eee, eee, eee
(There goes my baby.)
There goes my baby
