Subject: Lyr Add: BABY DID YOU HEAR (from Dinah Washington)
Here's my transcription from Spotify. The same song is on several albums.


BABY, DID YOU HEAR?
As sung by Dinah Washington

Baby, did you hear?
Your sweetie's going to leave you, yes, yes,
On the next payday.
Baby, did you hear me?
You're never going to find me, no, no,
And there's no use tryin'.
I tell you I'm going, and boy, I'm not lyin'.
Baby, don't you know?
Any gal will go
When a man's untrue.
What else can she do?

Baby, did you hear?
All your furniture's goin' to leave you, yes, yes,
On the next payday.
Baby, did you hear me?
Your sweetie's going to ride the next boat
Down the Saint John River,
And nary a cent will I be the giver.
Baby, don't you know?
Any gal will go
When a man's untrue.
Then what else can she do?
