Yes, the moon a-risin'
And the sun is sinkin' low
I can't find my baby
Wonder why did the woman go?
You can talk about my baby
Say a-just what you please
She's my baby
Lord and I don't care what she do
She will be my baby until her dyin' day

Yes, I love that woman
And I just can't help myself
She the only woman, people
Yes, I ever loved
Yes, Lord have mercy

Yes, she know I love her
The way she treat me
Lord have mercy, way she do
Yes, I love you, baby
Don't care what you do

I said come on, baby
Please throw this old dog a bone
I said come on, baby
Please throw this old dog a bone
Cause I'm driftin', an driftin'
Like a ship out on the sea.

I said, baby, baby, baby
I ain't got no place to stay
I said, baby, baby
I ain't got no place to stay
Well, well, well, I'm driftin' now baby
Lord, I'm driftin' from door to door

Lord, when I first met you, baby
Baby, way down south somewhere
When I first met you, baby
Baby, way down south somewhere
You didn't go no place now, baby-um

You been up here in Detroit, baby
Go around to ev'ry notoriety joint in town
You been up here in old Detroit
Go around to ev'ry notoriety joint in town

Yes, I rolled an I rolled
An I tried the whole night long
Yes, I rolled an I rolled
An I tried the whole night long

Didn't know right from wrong

Lord, I told my baby
Before I left this town
Lord, I told my baby
'Fore I left this town
Lord, don't let nobody
Tear my barrel house down

Lord, I walked an I walked
An cried the whole day long
Yes, I did

Yes, I walked an I walked
An I cried the whole day long

To tell my trouble to

Yes, a long time!

And you never blow the whistle
And no fireman rung the bell

Bom-bom-bom-bom
Bom-bom-bom-bom!

You know I'm goin' to the welfare
Ask them can they help me some?
