I got a mind to ramble 

I got a mind to rob an steal 

I got a mind to ramble 

I got a mind to rob an steal 

I got a mind to hi-jack, people 

You don't know the way I feel 

I can stand right ch'ere 

Look over onto the avenue 

I can stand right ch'ere 

Look over onto the avenue 

I can see ev'ry little ole thing 

That my little ol' baby do 

When I had my baby 

I tried to do my very best 

When I had my baby 

I tried to do my very best 

I got a telegram from her 

People, an she was goin' way out in the west 

Now, I love my baby 

But I just can't believe what she's doin' 

I love my baby 

I just can't believe just what she's doin' 

But maybe I'll have confidence in her 

Some long old lonesome day 

Mmm-mmm-mmm 

(piano) 

Lord, an I don't know what in this world to do 

I even cries in my sleep, baby 

An it's comin' right back on you.
