| Well, when I woke up this fine, bright morning
|
| It didn’t look right to me
|
| It seemed like something was awful wrong
|
| And I wondered what it could be
|
| Been thinking about it all day long
|
| Trying to figure out what was wrong
|
| Well, the answer just now came to me
|
| My darling baby’s gone
|
| I gotta go get my baby wherever she may be
|
| I gotta go get my baby and bring her home with me
|
| I hate to leave your company, it’s jolly as can be
|
| But I gotta go get my baby and bring her home with me
|
| Well, I guess I took that gal of mine
|
| For granted too darn long
|
| She must of got tired of waiting 'round
|
| And thought she didn’t belong
|
| But lawdy knows I love that gal
|
| More than I’ve ever shown
|
| I’m gonna bring my loving baby back
|
| And place her on my throne
|
| I gotta go get my baby wherever she may be
|
| I gotta go get my baby and bring her home with me
|
| If I have to swim the ocean, well, look out Mister Sea
|
| But I gotta go get my baby and bring her home with me |
