[Verse 1]
Have you seen my baby
On the avenue?
You know she's driving me crazy
With the funny things she do
I seen her with the mailman
Ridin' down the street
When you're through with my baby, mailman
Send her home to me

[Chorus]
Hold on, hold on, hold on
Now it's been so long
Since she has been gone
Hold on, hold on, hold on

[Verse 2]
I seen her with the gypsies
Dancin' through the woods
She's always been unfaithful to me
She ain't never been no good
I told her, "Please don't talk to strangers"
But she always do
She say, "I'll talk to strangers if I want to
I'm a stranger, too!"
[Chorus]
Hold on, hold on, hold on
Now it's been so long
Since she has been gone
Hold on, hold on, hold on
