It's all that I play In all the wrong places I'm on my own again Ever since my baby went away It's been the blackest day, it's been the blackest day All I hear is Billie Holiday Because I'm going deeper and deeper (deeper) Harder and harder (harder)

Seems like the other day My baby went away She went away 'cross the sea It's been two years or so Since I saw my baby go And then this letter came for me It said that we was through She found somebody new Oh, lemme think, lemme think, what shall I do?

But I ain't seen hide nor hair my baby since that day Well I ain't seen hide nor hair my baby since she went away I ain't seen hide nor hair my baby since that day. Hide nor hair Oh, I was lying in the bed with fever And I was burning up inside My baby

Ah, I've been waiting Girl, you've been gone away a real long time Now I really went out of my mind I miss your lovin' when you left, baby you did Ah baby, come here, let me caress you Ah ah baby your letters, ah tell me what you missed Come here, sugar,
