Well, I'm wondering and wondering
Where has my baby gone

Well, I wondering and wondering
Where has my baby gone

Well, tell me pretty baby
Why did you leave me alone?

Well I done all I could
Honey, I said I couldn't have do no more

Well, I done all I could
Baby, I just couldn't have done no more

Well, I don't think you had to leave me baby
Mama, I don't believe you had to go

So wherever you are baby
Catch the fastest train home to me

Well, wherever you are darling
Get the fastest train home to me

Well, I'm lonesome and I'm lonesome
And I'm as happy as a man can be
Well if I never see you again baby
Well remember what I say

Well don't get that old sand baby
Where the sun don't shine in my back door someday
