about
A funky chord sequence gives rise to a "Louie Louie" motif about lying under a pale white moon, waiting to see my baby again. But unlike the Kingsmen classic, I have not gone to sea for three nights and days, no, the chorus reveals that my baby has just popped out for an hour to the shops to get some provisions - a packet of crisps, and a bottle of pop, if I'm lucky!
lyrics
Cry, Cry, Cry
Said I'm gonna cry, cry, cry, cry
If my baby don't come back to me soon
Here I lie, lie, lie, lie
By the light of the pale white moon
All the people pass me by
They can't see the tears in my eye
And I'm wondering why, oh why
Does my baby not return?
Said I'm gonna cry, cry, cry, cry
If my baby don't come back to me soon
Here I lie, lie, lie, lie
By the light of the pale white moon
All the tears I cry
They are falling now from my eye
And I'm wondering why, oh why
Does my baby not return?
Said I'm gonna cry, cry, cry, cry
If my baby don't come back to me soon
Here I lie, lie, lie, lie
By the light of the pale white moon
All the tears I cry
They are falling now from my eye
And I'm wondering why, oh why
Does my baby not return?
She's only gone an hour ago, Richie
She's headed out to the shops
She's gone to get a packet of crisps
And a bottle of pop!
I'm gonna cry, cry, cry, cry
All the tears gonna fall from my eyes
And I'm gonna wonder why, oh why
Will my baby come back to me soon?
Said I'm gonna cry, cry, cry, cry
If my baby don't come back to me soon
Here I lie, lie, lie, lie
By the light of the pale white moon
All the people pass me by
They can't see the tears in my eye
And I'm wondering why, oh why
Does my baby not return?
Said I'm gonna cry, cry, cry, cry
If my baby don't come back to me soon
Here I lie, lie, lie, lie
By the light of the pale white moon
All the tears I cry
They are falling now from my eye
And I'm wondering why, oh why
Does my baby not return?
Said I'm gonna cry, cry, cry, cry
If my baby don't come back to me soon
Here I lie, lie, lie, lie
By the light of the pale white moon
All the tears I cry
They are falling now from my eye
And I'm wondering why, oh why
Does my baby not return?
She's only gone an hour ago, Richie
She's headed out to the shops
She's gone to get a packet of crisps
And a bottle of pop!
I'm gonna cry, cry, cry, cry
All the tears gonna fall from my eyes
And I'm gonna wonder why, oh why
Will my baby come back to me soon?
