Lonnie Johnson - My Baby Is Gone (1963) lyrics

rate me

Well, my baby ‘s gone, and I’m left here to cry.

Yes, my baby ‘s gone, and I’m left here to cry.

And she left this mornin’, and I don’t know the reason why.

I loved her so much, I thought she a baby child.

Yes, I loved her so much, thought she a baby child.

When I come to find it out, my baby ‘s been runnin’ wild.

Mmm, what’s gonna happen to me now?

Mmm, what’s gonna happen to me now?

She ‘s gone and I can’t find her, I’ve got to find out somehow.

She ‘s all I got, I’m lost when she ‘s not around.

Yes, she ‘s all I got, and I’m lost when she ‘s not around.

And the time that I really miss her, when the raindrops is fallin’ down.

I wake in the middle of the night, feelin’ where my baby used to be.

Wake in the middle of the night, feelin’ where my baby used to be.

And all I get in return, is a heart full of misery.

It’s pouring down rain, down on this cold, cold ground.

Yes, it’s pouring down rain, down on this cold, cold ground.

And now that drip it fell on my face, and the one I love can’t be found.

I wonder why, did my baby leave me this a way?

I wonder why, did my baby leave me this a way?

But it’s too late to cry, she’ll come home some day.
