Lyrics

Well you know my baby's gone People I've got nothing but the blues You know my baby's gone And I've got nothing but the blues I ain't thinkin' about the money that you took But it's my woman that I hate to lose I wake up early every morning And take a look at the risin' sun I wake up early every morning And take a look at the risin' sun Then I begin to wonder Will my baby ever be coming home She's been gone so long And I'm stuck here in the certain old rut She's been gone oh so long And I'm stuck here in the certain old rut I want my baby to come back to me Oh so much I used to be a bad boy And the little girl begged me not to run around I used to be a bad boy And she begged me not to run around Did never hurt me so bad people Till she came back and asked for her night-gown Yonder go my baby The little girl down that lonesome road Now yonder go my baby The sweet thing down that lonesome road You know I've got to overtake my woman Because my heart can't carry this heavy load I overtook my old baby And said Bethamy(?) won't you take me back I overtook my woman oh yeah, yeah I say baby won't you take me back She shook her head and said "no no no no" I could've fell dead standin' right here in my track One of these days Baby and it won't be long One of these days Baby and it won't be long After I find myself a new loving woman I know you'll wanna come back home
