Boys and girls, i'll tell a story It's good enough as true Of my forgetful baby An act she put me through Ah, first time that i saw her I knew i had to make her mine My dear forgetful baby Made me lose my mind She said she had no memory And then she forgot my name She said she had some condition Oh, forgetful in the brain Ah, she told me to forget her She would only break my heart She was beautiful and honest That's where our story starts I had just gotten out of prison She had just gotten out of church We got married on a sunday And by monday things were worse Oh, she can't recall the wedding She swears she ain't my spouse So now she's living like she's single She's living in my house Oh, there she goes She tried to kiss the preacher She even gave my pa a smack She tried to kiss the mailman But trouble is, he kissed her back We were walking through the beaumont She grabbed another fella by the rear And i had to flag her down Forgetful baby, i'm over here She said forgetful is contagious And i think i feel the same I'm pretty sure i've forgotten my forgetful baby's name Oh, please forgetful baby Won't you tell me what went wrong? Tell me quick, forgetful baby I think i forgot how to end my song "that was the worst take of all for me. i forgot everything." "oh, raw, it was really sick." "it was good, alright we'll get another one, we'll get another one. keep this, just keep, keep it rolling, keep it rolling."
