Eddie Boyd and Fleetwood Mac - She's Gone

Well, you know my baby's gone
And people, I've got nothing but the blues
You know my baby's gone
And I've got nothing but the blues
I ain't thinking about the money that she took
But it's my woman that I hate to lose

I wake up early every morning
And take a look at the rising sun
I wake up early every morning
And take a look at the rising sun
Then I begin to wonder
Will my baby ever be coming home?

She's been gone so long
I'm stuck here in a same old rut
She's been gone oh, so long
I'm stuck here in a same old rut
I want my baby to come back to me, oh, so much

I used to be a bad boy
The little girl begged me not to run around
I used to be a bad boy
She begged me not to run around
It never hurt me so bad people
Till she came back and asked for her nightgown

You're on the go, my baby
The little girl down the lonesome road
Now you're on the go, my baby
The sweet thing down the lonesome road
You know I've got to overtake my woman
Because my heart can't carry this heavy load

I overtook my old baby
And said, Bertha-Mae won't you take me back?
I owe it to my woman, oh yeah yeah
I said, baby, won't you take me back?
She shook her head and said, "No, no, no, no"
I could have fell dead standing right in my track

Well, one of these days
Baby, and it won't be long
One of these days
Baby, and it won't be long
After I find myself a new loving woman
I know you'll wanna come back home
