Bless my soul, if my baby ain't done gone, again
My baby has gone away
And, she took my love with her
My woman just left, today
And I'm surely gonna miss her
I got up, this mornin', feelin' happy
âCause I thought was gonna be so, sunny
Bright and gay, all day, for me
But, when I looked around
Lo an' behold, I tell ya' what I found
My baby's closet was as bare, as it could be
And, she had wrote a note, and left it for me
Lord, I'm so all alone
The note said Daddy, Daddy
I really hate to leave you, but, I gotta go
And I know it's gonna hurt you to your poor ol' soul
Though I liked you âcause you treated me so fine
I just couldn't keep pretending
Feelin' the way I do
And, being untrue
Just wouldn't be fair to you
So, I am leavin'
Hope that you're not grievin', too much
I'll come back
If you'll only say you'll help me, Dear
To love you like I should
I promise I'll be good, my sweet
Just try to understand
I know you're for me
And, I think we can happy
Hey, hey, hey, Pretty Baby
Oh, how I wish you could hear me
I didn't understand, yes, I want to be your man
I took love, so, for granted
An' I know I was wrong
Have mercy, Baby, Baby
Have mercy on me
Lordy, help me find my Clawdy
And bring her home, to me
âCause I know she'll be as happy, as can be
When she finds that I just didn't know
And, if she comes back home
I'll never her go, again
I promise I won't
She's sweet as she can be
And, I am sure she means the whole world, to me
Bless my soul, if my baby ain't back home, again
