She's Gone

Well, you know my baby's gone And 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 thinking about the money that she took But it's my woman that I hate to lose I wake up early every morning And take a look at the rising sun I wake up early every morning And take a look at the rising sun Then I begin to wonder Will my baby ever be coming home? She's been gone so long I'm stuck here in a same old rut She's been gone oh, so long I'm stuck here in a 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 It never hurt me so bad people Till she came back and asked for her nightgown You're on the go, my baby The little girl down the lonesome road Now you're on the go, my baby The sweet thing down the 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, Bertha-Mae won't you take me back? I owe it to my woman, oh yeah yeah I said, baby, won't you take me back? She shook her head and said, "No, no, no, no" I could have fell dead standing right in my track Well, 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
