Well, when I woke up this fine bright morning
It didn't look right to me
It seemed like something was awful wrong
And I wondered what it could be
I been thinking about it all day long
Trying to figure out what was wrong
Well, the answer just now come to me
My darling baby's gone
Long gone
So I gotta go get my baby
Wherever she may be
I gotta go get my baby
And bring her home with me
I hate to leave your company
It's jolly as can be
But I gotta go get my baby
And bring her home with me
Well, I guess I took that gal of mine
For granted too darn long
She must of got tired of waiting around
And thought she didn't belong
But Lawdy knows I love that gal
Much more than I've ever shown
I'm gonna bring my loving baby back
Cause she's been gone too long
Too long
Oh, I gotta go get my baby
Wherever she may be
I gotta go get my baby
And bring her home with me
If I have to swim the ocean
Well, look out Mister Sea
Cause I'm gonna go get my baby
And bring her
Home with me
