well I'm sitting 'round my house
and I don't know what to do
yeah since my baby left me
ya know I'm livin' with the blues
because she's gone
I can't go on
without my baby

well she told me she was leavin'
but then I just shook my head
lord now she's really gone
and I wish that I were dead
because she's gone
I can't go on
without my baby

lord if you see my baby
wont you tell her please come home
yeah tell her that I'm living
my poor life all alone
because she's gone
I can't go on
without my baby
