Now, I know my baby 

Is goin' to jump 'n shout 

When the G. M. O. roll up 

An oh Lord, 'n I come walkin' out 

I'm sittin' here thinkin', just sad an longin' 

I wants my baby back to me 

(harmonica & instrumental) 

I'm just sittin' here thinkin' 

Seem like I ain't got a friend 

Lord, the way my baby treat me, Lord 

That's a doggone sin 

I'm sittin' here won'din, a-just sad a-longin' 

I wants my baby back to me

You know and the fireman rung his bell 

I hate to tell my baby, Lord, baby, fare ye well 

I'm sittin' here thinkin', a just sad an longin' 

I wants my baby back to me.
