|
Ohh, I was lyin' in the bed with fever |
|
And I was burnin' up inside |
|
My baby walked in my bedroom |
|
And I could hardly open my eyes |
|
She said that she was goin' to the pawnshop |
|
Just across the track |
|
She started packin' some clothes in a hurry |
|
And then she said she would be right back |
|
But I ain't seen hide 'nor hair of my baby since that day, yeah |
|
Well I ain't seen hide 'nor hair of my baby since she went away |
|
I remember so well when she slammed the door |
|
But the girl didn't make it back no more |
|
I ain't seen hide 'nor hair of my baby since that day |
|
Well, I waited for twenty four hours and I was just about to starve to death |
|
It didn't look like she was comin' back, so I had to look out for myself |
|
Well, I called the police department to find out what they knew |
|
They said, "No, by heck, but we will get her yet" |
|
Because they was lookin' for her too |
|
But I ain't seen hide 'nor hair of my baby since that day, yeah |
|
Well I ain't seen hide 'nor hair of my baby since she went away |
|
Well, I don't know what happened across the track |
|
But I know my baby didn't make it back |
|
I ain't seen hide 'nor hair of my baby since that day |
|
Well, I called my Dr. Foster and when the girl answered the phone |
|
I got a funny feeling, the way she said 'Dr. Foster had gone' |
|
She said, "He left with a lady patient, about twenty four hours ago" |
|
I added two and two and here's what I got |
|
I got I'll never see that girl no more |
|
Well, I ain't seen hide 'nor hair of my baby since that day, yeah |
|
But I ain't seen hide 'nor hair of my baby since she went away |
|
If Dr. Foster has got her, then I know I'm through |
|
Because he's got medicine and money too |
|
I ain't seen hide 'nor hair of my baby since that day, woh, no |
