My baby's gone
And she won't come back no mo'
My baby's gone
And she won't come back no mo'
Well, she left me this mo'nin'
And she caught that M&O
Listen here, people
I've done ev'rything that I could
Listen here, people
I've done ev'rything that I could
Listen here, people
I've done ev'rything that I could
But she's gone an left me
She didn't mean me no good

There is one thing, babe
I just can't understand, myself
There is one thing, babe
I just can't understand myself
When that gal I love quit me
I don't want nobody else

But that's alright, babe
I can't stand the way you do
But that's alright, babe
I can't stand the way you do
You are running me crazy
And it's goin' to worry you

When she left she bought a ticket
Just as long as she was tall
When she left she bought a ticket
Just as long as she was tall
She didn't know how much I loved her
Or else she wouldn't have left at all.
