My Baby Left Me
Arthur Crudup
Yes, my baby left me, never said a word
Was it something I done, something that she heard?
You know she left me, my baby left me
My baby even left me, never said a word
But, I stand at my window, wring my hands and cry
I hate to lose that woman, hate to say goodbye
You know she left me, my baby left me
My baby even left me, never said goodbye
(Play it, blues boy)
Well now, one of these mornings, Lord, it won't be long
You'll look for me and, baby, daddy will I know
You know she left me, my baby left me
My baby even left me, never said a word
Lord, I stand at my window, wring my hands and moan
And all I know is that the one I love is gone
You know she left me, my baby left me
My baby even left me, never said goodbye
My baby even left me, never said goodbye
