Ohhhh, I was lying in the bed with fever
|
And I was, burning up inside
|
My baby walked, in my bedroom
|
And I could hardly open my eyes
|
|
She said that she was going to the pawnshop
|
Just across the track
|
She started packing 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 24 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
|
|
Well 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 a-cross 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
|
|
[Instrumental break]
|
|
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 24 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
|
|
Whoaah, no
