I used to have a baby, used to have a baby
I ain't got no baby now
My baby left me, my baby left me
(Guitar finishes verse)
Yonder she goes, sweep broom in her hand, sweep me off for another man
Yonder go my baby now
Bye-bye, baby, bye-bye, baby
(guitar finishes verse)
SOLO
Seed her when she caught the train, seed her when she caught that train
(Guitar finishes verse)
SOLO
Now I'm all alone, sittin' by the telephone
(Guitar finishes verse)
I'm gonna write me a letter, to my little baby,
"Baby, won't you come home?"
I'm gonna find me a baby, find me a baby
Babe, baby now
SOLO
Bye-bye, honey, bye-bye, honey
(Guitar finishes verse)
Don't you think you done me wrong? Don't you think you done me wrong?
(Guitar finishes verse)
I don't need no baby, I don't need no baby
Baby won't do right
SOLO(X2)
I received a letter, I received a letter
From my little old baby child
Yonder she come, yonder she come, oh Lordy, yonder she come
Baby, baby child
SOLO(X2)
Mmm, mmm, ha ha
Ho ho, how how
How how, how how
Mmm, mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm, mmm
Now I'm all alone, here by the telephone
Got no baby now
SOLO
