Ohhhh, I was lying in the bed with fever
      D7                D#°
And I was, burning up inside
A7                    A#º
My baby walked, in my bedroom
            B7             E7
And I could hardly open my eyes 

A7
She said that she was going to the pawnshop
D7              D#°
Just across the track
            A7                        A#º
She started packing some clothes in a hurry
             B7             E7       A7
And then she said she would be right back

                 A7
But I ain't seen hide `nor hair of my baby, since that day, yeah
                                       A#º  B7                 E7
Well I ain't seen hide `nor hair of my baby, since she went away
    A7
I remember so well when she slammed the door
        D7                  D#°
But the girl didn't make it back no more
             A7                   E7               A7  D7  E7
I ain't seen hide `nor hair of my baby, since that day

        A7                             D7
Well, I waited for 24 hours, and I was just about to starve to
D#°
Death
          A7                A#º               B7
It didn't look like she was comin' back, so I had to look out for 
  E7
Myself
       A7                            D7                       D#°
Well I called, the police department, to find out what they knew
            A7                       A#º                        B7
They said, "No, by heck, but we will get her yet", because they was 
            D7  A7
Lookin' for her too

                  A7
Well I ain't seen hide `nor hair of my baby, since that day, yeah
                                       A#º   B7                E7
Well I ain't seen hide `nor hair of my baby, since she went away
             A7
Well I don't know what happened a-cross the track
      D7                  D#°
But I know my baby didn't make it back
             A7                   E7               A7  
I ain't seen hide `nor hair of my baby, since that day

( A7  D7  D#º  A7 )
( B7  A7  D7  E7 )

       A7                                  D7                D#°
Well I called, my Dr. Foster, and when the girl answered the phone 

A7            A#º                  B7                  E7
I got a funny feeling, the way she said Dr. Foster had gone
              A7                            D7          D#°
She said, "He left with a lady patient, about 24 hours ago"
        A7                      A#º                    B7
I added two and two, and here's what I got: I got I'll never see 
     D7       A7
That girl no more

                  A7
Well I ain't seen hide `nor hair of my baby, since that day, yeah
                                      A#º  B7                 E7
But I ain't seen hide `nor hair of my baby, since she went away
       A7
If Dr. Foster has got her, then I know I'm through
        D7                     D#°
Because he's got medicine and, money too
             A7                   E7               A7   
I ain't seen hide `nor hair of my baby, since that day

D7      A7
Whoaah, no
