Well when I come home this morning Was still too dark to see I could tell that baby wasn't sleepin' next to me She's gone and left me Where to, I guess I'll never know I only know her leavin's brought pain and misery to my soul Well a note was on the pillow She's gone without a doubt I tried to read her writin' but I couldn't make it out The tears were fallin' Too fast for me to even read Nobody knows my sorrow, nobody knows my misery My friends told me she'd leave me But I said they wasn't right She'd give no word of warnin' she'd be leavin' in the night Can't understand her What made my baby want to go I didn't hear her leavin' she didn't even close the door Well, if she come home this mornin' I'd jump amd shout with glee She can't mean more to someone else than what she means to me I love that woman, I got to have her all the time I got to have her near me to ease this misery on my mind
