I used to be my Mother's baby

When I was near my Dad went wild

Whenever we had company

They'd bounce me on their knee

The neighbours thought I was a darling child

Once I was everybody's baby

But right now I'm lonesome as can be

You see I'm nobody's baby I wonder why

Each night and day I pray the Lord up above

To please send me down somebody to love

But nobody wants me I'm blue somehow

Won't someone hear my plea

Come take a little chance with me

Because I'm nobody's baby now

I'v no-no-no-nobody's baby I I just wonder why

Each night and day night and day

I pray I pray the Lord up above to please

Please send me down some sweet somebody to love

But no-no-no-nobody wants me I'm I'm blue somehow

Won't someone hear my plea

Come take a little chance with me

Because I'm no-no-no-nobody's baby now
