Down the Stairs, Out the Door (Went My Baby) lyrics

[Part I: Take Six]

[Intro]
Take six

[Verse]
Down the stairs, out the door
To the station and far away
Went my baby

[Segue]
Alright, take seven

[Part II: Take Seven]

[Intro]
Take seven

[Verse 1]
Down the stairs, out the door
To the station and far away
Went my baby
Down the stairs, out the door
To the station and gone from me
Did I sigh, did I cry?
No, I smiled when I said goodbye
To my baby
Let her go, let her blow
Let her hurry out fancy free
[Bridge]
But now, oh, how a room can get gloomy
Oh, how a room can get bare
Oh, how a room can get much too roomy
When the love is gone from there

[Verse 2]
Down the stairs, out the door
To the station and far away
Went my baby
Down the stairs, out the door
Bag and baggage and gone was she
Now I sigh and I cry
And I pray for the day I say
"Here comes baby
Up the stairs, in the door
And forevermore home to me"
