Well you know my baby's gone People I got nothing but the blues You know baby's gone I got nothing but the blues I ain't thinking about the money that she took But it's my woman that i hate to loose I wake up every morning Take a look at the rising sun I wake up early every morning And take a look at the rising sun And I begin to wonder will my baby Ever be coming home She's been gone so long I'm stuck here in the same old rut She's been gone oh so long I'm stuck here in the same old rut I want my baby to come back to me oh so much I used to be a bad boy The little girl begged me not to run around I used to be a bad boy She begged me not to run around She never hurt me so bad people Till she came back and ask me for her night gown Yearn to go baby The little girl down the lonesome road Now yearn to go baby The sweet thing down the lonesome road You know I got to overtake my woman Because my heart can't carry this heavy load
