I got a mind to ramble

I got a mind to rob an steal

I got a mind to ramble

I got a mind to rob an steal

I got a mind to hi-jack, people 

You don't know the way I feel



I can stand right ch'ere

Look over onto the avenue

I can stand right ch'ere

Look over onto the avenue

I can see ev'ry little ole thing

That my little ol' baby do



When I had my baby

I tried to do my very best

When I had my baby

I tried to do my very best

I got a telegram from her

People, an she was goin' way out in the west



Now, I love my baby

But I just can't believe what she's doin'

I love my baby

I just can't believe just what she's doin'

But maybe I'll have confidence in her

Some long old lonesome day



Mmm-mmm-mmm



(piano)



Lord, an I don't know what in this world to do

I even cries in my sleep, baby

An it's comin' right back on you.
