Oh I was lying in the bed with fever And I was burnin' 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 packin' 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 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 to more I ain't seen hide nor hair of my baby Since that day
Well I waited for twenty-four 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 heek, but we will get her yet Because they were lookin' for her too
Well I ain't seen hide nor hair of my baby Since that day Well I ain't seen hide nor hair of my baby Since she went away Well I don't know what happened across 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
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 twenty-four hours ago I added two and two and here's what I got I gotta never see that girl no more
Well I ain't seen hide nor hair of my baby Since that day Said 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, woah no
