Well when I come home this morning

Was still too dark to see

I could tell that baby wasn't sleepin' next to me

She's gone and left me

Where to, I guess I'll never know

I only know her leavin's brought pain and misery to my soul



Well a note was on the pillow

She's gone without a doubt

I tried to read her writin' but I couldn't make it out

The tears were fallin'

Too fast for me to even read

Nobody knows my sorrow, nobody knows my misery



My friends told me she'd leave me

But I said they wasn't right

She'd give no word of warnin' she'd be leavin' in the night

Can't understand her

What made my baby want to go

I didn't hear her leavin' she didn't even close the door



Well, if she come home this mornin'

I'd jump amd shout with glee

She can't mean more to someone else than what she means to me

I love that woman,

I got to have her all the time

I got to have her near me to ease this misery on my mind
