Words and Music by Ivory Joe Hunter
When I lost my baby (baby)
I almost lost my mind
When I lost my baby (baby)
I almost lost my mind
My head is in a spin since she's left me behind
I went to see the gypsy
And had my fortune read
I went to see the gypsy
And had my fortune read
I hung my head in sorrow when she said what she said
Well, I can tell you, people (people)
The news was not so good
Well, I can tell you, people (people)
The news was not so good
She said Your baby's left you
This time she's gone for good (gone for good)
Bah-ooh-ah-ooh-ah-ooh-ah-ooh-ooh
