Well, I feel like this when my
baby can't be found.
C
I went to the river to jump
in. My baby showed up and said,
"I will tell you when."
Well, I'm tore down, I'm
almost level with the ground.
Well, I feel like this when my
baby can't be found.
C
I love you babe with all my
heart and soul; love like mine will never grow old.
Love you in the morning and in
the evening, too.
Every time you leave me, I get
mad with you.
Well, I'm tore down, I'm
almost level with the ground.
Well, I feel like this when my
baby can't be found.
INSTRUMENTAL SOLO:
I love you baby with all my
might; love like mine is out of sight.
I'll lie for you if you want
me to; I really don't believe that your love is true.
Well, I'm tore down, I'm
almost level with the ground.
Well, I feel like this when my
baby can't be found.
