Well I woke up this farm that morning
It didn't look right to me
It seemed like something was aweful wrong
And I wondered what it could be
I been thinkin' about it all day long
Tryin' to figure out what was wrong
Well the answer's just now come to me
My darling baby's gone
Oh I gotta go get my baby, wherever he may be
I gotta go get my baby and bring him home with me
I hate to leave your company, though it's dully as can be
But I gotta go get my baby and bring him home with me

Well I guess I took that guy of mine for granted to darn long
He must have got tired of waitin' around
And thought he didn't belong
But the Lord he knows I love that man
Much more than I ever showed
I gotta bring my lovin' baby back and place him on a throne
Oh I gotta go get my baby, wherever he may be
I gotta go get my baby and bring him home with me
If I have to swim the ocean, well look out mister "C"
'Cause I'm gonna go get my baby and bring him home with me
I'm gonna go get my baby and bring him home with me
