Ohhhh, 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 But I ain't seen hide 'nor hair of my baby, since that day, yeah Well I ain'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 Well, I waited for 24 hours, and I was just about to starve to death Well I called, the police department, to find out what they knew They said, \"No, by heck, but we will get her yet\
