Number five, number five 

Please bring my baby back to me

Now when my baby left me 

My baby wouldn't even wave her hand 

When my baby left me 

My baby wouldn't even wave her hand 

Well now I know the reason she left me 

'Cause she was wild about some other man 

Now but that would be alright now 

I know my baby ain't goin' to stay away 

Now but that would be alright, yeah 

I know my baby ain't goin' to stay away 

Well now, an she's the woman who stays on my mind 

People, she's the only woman I crave 

(harmonica & piano) 

'Play it to me boy, you know how I feel' 

(harmonica & piano) 

'Thinking about how my baby feel'

Lord, an I just looked on the 'allendar 

Now just to see when yo' birthday was gon' be 

Lord, I just looked on the 'allendar 

Just to see when yo' birthday's gon' be 

Now said, I believe that you musta born in March 

Because you've got changin' ways on me 

Now fare you well, now 

Baby, yes I'm goin' away 

Fare you well, now 

Baby, yes I'm goin' away 

Well now, I know you didn't love me 

Now an I'm gon' find me some other place to stay.
