Ohhhh, I was lying in the bed with fever And I was, burning up inside My baby walked, in my bedroom And I could hardly open my eyes
She said that she was going to the pawnshop Just across the track She started packing some clothes in a hurry And then she said she would be right back
But I ain´t seen hide `nor hair of my baby, since that day, yeah Well I ain´t seen hide `nor hair of my baby, since she went away I remember so well when she slammed the door But the girl didn´t make it back no more I ain´t seen hide `nor hair of my baby, since that day
Well, I waited for 24 hours, and I was just about to starve to death It didn´t look like she was comin´ back, so I had to look out for myself
Well I called, the police department, to find out what they knew They said, "No, by heck, but we will get her yet", because they was lookin´ for her too
Well I ain´t seen hide `nor hair of my baby, since that day, yeah Well I ain´t seen hide `nor hair of my baby, since she went away Well I don´t know what happened a-cross the track But I know my baby didn´t make it back I ain´t seen hide `nor hair of my baby, since that day
(instrumental break)
Well I called, my Dr. Foster, and when the girl answered the phone
I got a funny feeling, the way she said Dr. Foster had gone She said, "He left with a lady patient, about 24 hours ago" I added two and two, and here´s what I got: I got I´ll never see that girl no more
Well I ain´t seen hide `nor hair of my baby, since that day, yeah But I ain´t seen hide `nor hair of my baby, since she went away If Dr. Foster has got her, then I know I´m through Because he´s got medicine and, money too I ain´t seen hide `nor hair of my baby, since that day
