Jon Burrowes - Come Back Baby Rag

5. The Come-Back Baby Rag, aka Moonlight Matinee
I want to tell you - that after all –
I really was in love.
It was no - passing fancy –
Or moonlight matinee.
But now the sun is setting
On my one-night stands;
My one-shot deals
Are all flashes in the pan.
So if you ever wondered if someone
Loved you,
I'm not too proud to say it:
It was your song, and I just couldn't play it;
There was something in the words I didn't like
Yes it was me out here, that was loving you
While you were in there packing
My heart into a suitcase full of dreams.
But now you're gone I'll shut my mouth,
Now that's off my chest.
I'll pack my troubles and I'll go back down South
And I will
Do the come-back baby rag tonight
Do the come-back baby rag tonight
You got a nickel, and I got a dime
Let's get together and have a good time
And do the come-back baby rag tonight.
Yeah we will
Do the come-back baby rag tonight
Do the come-back baby rag tonight...
You got a nickel, and I got a dime
Let's get together and have a good time
And do the come-back baby rag tonight
