I Wonder Where My Baby Is Tonight Lyrics & Chords By Josephine Baker

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 though 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

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 though I shouldn't care
I wonder where my baby is tonight

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
