| Said I went down by that freight depot
|
| And that freight train he come rollin' by
|
| Lord and I sure ain’t got no lovin' baby now
|
| And I sure ain’t got no lovin' baby now
|
| And I went off in that far distant land
|
| I wasn’t there long before I got a telegram
|
| (What did it say?)
|
| Sayin' now man won’t you please come home
|
| Now man won’t you please come home
|
| Then I went back home, I looked on the bed
|
| And that best old friend I had was dead
|
| Lord, and I ain’t got no lovin' baby now
|
| And I ain’t got no lovin' baby now
|
| And I’m sorry, sorry, sorry to my heart
|
| But that best old friend someday must part
|
| Lord I ain’t got no lovin' baby now
|
| And I ain’t got no lovin' baby now
|
| (Play it for me now)
|
| Now as sure as the birds wings in the sky above
|
| Life ain’t worth livin' if you ain’t with the one you love
|
| Lord and I ain’t got no lovin' baby now
|
| Lord I ain’t got no lover now
|
| If I’d knowed you didn’t love me and didn’t want me to
|
| I would’ve taken morphine and died
|
| Lord I ain’t got no lovin' baby now
|
| And I ain’t got no lovin' baby now |
