Bye, Bye, Baby, Bye, Bye.

Written and sung by Wm. J. Scanlan.
Dear Ilma, come kiss papa, it's time he was away,
I'll be with thee this evening to laugh, sing and play;
Don't pucker up your lips now, as if about to cry,
But like a dear, good baby, kiss papa one bye, bye.
Chorus.
Bye, bye, baby, bye, bve; bye, bye, baby dear-
Say da da to papa while mamma, love, is here;
Bye, bye, baby, bye, bye; bye, bye, llma dear,
One big kiss for papa-bye, bye, baby dear.
When I come home this evening I'll bring you something nice,
Just like our good old Santa Claus, who plods thro' snow and ice
To cheer the little babies, and all their stockings fill
With candies, cakes and playthings- I promise you I will.
Bye, bye, baby, bye, bye; bye, bye, &c.
Whene'er I see that cunning babe, enrolled in childish play,
I think of many moonlight uights, which since have pass'd away;
When wife and I together would wander through the dell,
Where breezes kissed her lily brow, and tales of love we'd to'll.
Bye, bye, baby, bye, bye; bye, bye, &c.
