Hide Nor Hair

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Ohh, 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 [Chorus] But I haven't seen hide 'nor hair of my baby since that day, yeah Well I haven'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 [Verse 2] Well, I waited for twenty four hours and I was just about to starve to death It didn't look like she was coming 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 looking for her too [Chorus] [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus]
