Subject: Melancholy Baby - Leon Redbone Verses
I am never sure what to call the introduction that leads you into a song. It's all too often omitted in transcriptions.

Nevertheless, I am still seeking two introductory stanzas for Watson,Norton & Burnett's "My Melancholy Baby".

My recollection of these is :

" Come sweetheart mine Don't sit and pine I will do most anything you ask of me ...... "

" My love is true And just for you .....

or else I shall be melancholy too"

Can anybody out there fill in the blanks for me?

Many thanks,
