Baby You Don't Know My Mind (1926)
LONNIE JOHNSON
Take me back baby, you don't know my mind.
Take me back baby, you don't know my mind.
I may look happy, but I'm almost dyin'.
I never missed you, until you said goodbye.
I never missed you, until you said goodbye.
And when the train got out of my site, then I began to cry.
From St. Louis to the river, then into the deep blue sea.
From St. Louis to the river, then into the deep blue sea.
If I don't find the one I love, I don't care what becomes of me.
All my days seem lonely, and my nights is ‘bout the same.
My days seem lonely, my nights is ‘bout the same.
Because I'm used to hearing, my sweet woman call my name.
