Evenin'
Creepin' down the mountain
Wakes up Mister Firefly

Bullfrog sittin' there
Starts to croakin' but I don't care
Since I kissed my baby goodbye

South wind
Shakes the old magnolia
Moon man lights the dingy sky

Star starts
Twinklin' gold
On the river, but still I'm cold
Since I kissed my baby goodbye

Since my baby and me
Parted company
I can't see what's the diff' if I live or I die

Oh Lord, I'm takin'
Such a beatin'
I'm no good, even cheeky
Since I kissed my baby goodbye
