Yes, my baby left me, never said a word.
Was it something I done, something that she heard?
You know she left me, my baby left me.
My baby even left me, never said a word.

But, I stand at my window, wring my hands and cry.
I hate to lose that woman, hate to say goodbye.
You know she left me, I say, she left me.
My baby even left me, never said goodbye.
(Play it, Blues Boy!)

And now, one of these mornings, Lord, it won't be long,
You'll look for me and, Baby, Daddy he'll be gone.
You know she left me, I say she left me.
My baby even left me, never said a word.

Now, I stand at my window, wring my hands and moan.
All I know is that the one I love is gone.
My baby left me, I say she left me.
My baby even left me, never said goodbye.
My baby even left me, never said goodbye.!

Oh yeh
My baby left my sad
He didn’t do nothing right
My baby left me
My baby left me dry
My baby left my sad
He didn’t do nothing right
My baby left me
My baby left me so dry to the bone
and he left me alone
Oh yeh !

Consequences after murder
Situations did you further
Close one eye and dream the rest
I was called the early learner
and you were the heart stirrer
but this I never coulda guessed
You pulled on me until you knew I’d break.

My baby left my sad
He didn’t do nothing right
My baby left me
My baby left me dry
My baby left my sad
He didn’t do nothing right
My baby left me
My baby left me so dry to the bone
and he left me alone
Oh yeh ! Oh yeh !

So who’s to blame for the messy ending
you say it’s me but we’d be pretending
you work your dirt just like a pro
Cos you were a
freedom fighter, compulsive liar,
and a really good lucky trier
More than I had ever known
You pulled on me until you knew I’d break.

My baby left my sad
He didn’t do nothing right
My baby left me
My baby left me dry
My baby left my sad
He didn’t do nothing right
My baby left me
My baby left me so dry to the bone
and he left me alone. (x 3)
