Is it 'by the by' or 'by the bye'?

1. I never use the term, personally, but I think it's the first version

:hi: I do,however, use "by the way"...:D

[cynatnite]

2. I've read it both ways and I'm curious which is correct..

BTW, I say 'BTW', too :)

3. Bye the buy

in other words, don't buy that crap (say bye to it) and listen to me instead. :P

4. BYE AND BYE

BYE AND BYE

O. Bye and bye, bye and bye
I’m goin’ to lay down my heavy load

I know my robe’s gon’ to fit me well
I’m goin’ to lay down my heavy load
I tried it on at the gates of hell
I’m goin’ to lay down my heavy load

Hell is deep and dark despair
I’m goin’ to lay down my heavy load
Stop po’ sinner and don’t go there
I’m goin’ to lay down my heavy load

O Christians can’t you rise and tell
I’m goin’ to lay down my heavy load
That Jesus hath done all things well
I’m goin’ to lay down my heavy load
