I went to breakfast this mo'nin, down to the corner bar I thought I heard my baby call my name, an' it came from so far I started runnin' an' answerin', like a crazy fool would do Aha, ya' see, my woman gone away an' left me An' now my mind is tryin' to leave me too Now my friend stepped out the bar An' stopped me an' offered me a drink I went in an' had a double An' I began to think about my baby Aha, like a crazy fool would do You see, my woman gone away an' left me An' now my mind is tryin' to leave me too Oh! Ha-ah, I went into the barber shop an' ordered ham an' eggs An' each barber gave me fifty cent They thought I was tryin' to beg An' I started cryin' like a baby (like a baby, ha) Like any fool would do You see my woman gone away an' left me An' now my mind is tryin' to leave me too
