Lyric Hide Nor Hair

Ohhhh, I was lying in the bed with fever
And I was, burning up inside
My baby walked, in my bedroom
And I could hardly open my eyes

She said that she was going to the pawnshop
Just across the track
She started packing some clothes in a hurry
And then she said she would be right back

But I ain t seen hide `nor hair of my baby, since that day, yeah
Well I ain t seen hide `nor hair of my baby, since she went away
I remember so well when she slammed the door
But the girl didn t make it back no more
I ain t seen hide `nor hair of my baby, since that day

Well, I waited for 24 hours, and I was just about to starve to death
It didn t look like she was comin back, so I had to look out for myself
Well I called, the police department, to find out what they knew
They said, "No, by heck, but we will get her yet", because they was lookin for her too

Well I ain t seen hide `nor hair of my baby, since that day, yeah
Well I ain t seen hide `nor hair of my baby, since she went away
Well I don t know what happened a-cross the track
But I know my baby didn t make it back
I ain t seen hide `nor hair of my baby, since that day

(instrumental break)

Well I called, my Dr. Foster, and when the girl answered the phone
I got a funny feeling, the way she said Dr. Foster had gone
She said, "He left with a lady patient, about 24 hours ago"
I added two and two, and here s what I got: I got I ll never see that girl no more

Well I ain t seen hide `nor hair of my baby, since that day, yeah
But I ain t seen hide `nor hair of my baby, since she went away
If Dr. Foster has got her, then I know I m through
Because he s got medicine and, money too
I ain t seen hide `nor hair of my baby, since that day

Whoaah, no
