My baby’s a wanderin’.
She’s gone across the sea.
She’s got a lot of pretty, pretty toys.
Not one of them toys is me.
She got a black velvet choker
(with a diamond).
She got it in Paris.
It was a gift from Lord Fauntleroy.
He sent the bill to me.
My baby’s bound to come back,
Someday,
To satisfy the love she’s thrown away.
