Gather around me buddies
Hold your glasses high
And drink to the fool
The crazy fool
Who told his baby goodbye
Too late he finds he loves her
So much he wants to die
Drink to the fool
The crazy fool
That told his baby goodbye
Now he needs her
Lord, he needs her so
And he wonders
Why he let her go
She found a new love buddy
He's a lucky guy
So drink to the fool
The crazy fool
That told his baby goodbye
That told his baby goodbye
