Chords with lyrics
A7A7
Ohhhh, I was lying in the bed with fever
D7D7 Eb°
And I was, burning up inside
A7A7 Bbº
My baby walked, in my bedroom
B7B7 E7E7
And I could hardly open my eyes
A7A7
She said that she was going to the pawnshop
D7D7 Eb°
Just across the track
A7A7 Bbº
She started packing some clothes in a hurry
B7B7 E7E7 A7A7
And then she said she would be right back
A7A7
But I ain't seen hide 'nor hair of my baby, since that day, yeah
Bbº B7B7 E7E7
Well I ain't seen hide 'nor hair of my baby, since she went away
A7A7
I remember so well when she slammed the door
D7D7 Eb°
But the girl didn't make it back no more
A7A7 E7E7 A7A7 D7D7 E7E7
I ain't seen hide 'nor hair of my baby, since that day
A7A7 D7D7
Well, I waited for 24 hours, and I was just about to starve to
Eb°
Death
A7A7 Bbº B7B7
It didn't look like she was comin' back, so I had to look out for
E7E7
Myself
A7A7 D7D7 Eb°
Well I called, the police department, to find out what they knew
A7A7 Bbº B7B7
They said, "No, by heck, but we will get her yet", because they was
D7D7 A7A7
Lookin' for her too
A7A7
Well I ain't seen hide 'nor hair of my baby, since that day, yeah
Bbº B7B7 E7E7
Well I ain't seen hide 'nor hair of my baby, since she went away
A7A7
Well I don't know what happened a-cross the track
D7D7 Eb°
But I know my baby didn't make it back
A7A7 E7E7 A7A7
I ain't seen hide 'nor hair of my baby, since that day
( A7A7 D7D7 Ebº A7A7 )
( B7B7 A7A7 D7D7 E7E7 )
A7A7 D7D7 Eb°
Well I called, my Dr. Foster, and when the girl answered the phone
A7A7 Bbº B7B7 E7E7
I got a funny feeling, the way she said Dr. Foster had gone
A7A7 D7D7 Eb°
She said, "He left with a lady patient, about 24 hours ago"
A7A7 Bbº B7B7
I added two and two, and here's what I got: I got I'll never see
D7D7 A7A7
That girl no more
A7A7
Well I ain't seen hide 'nor hair of my baby, since that day, yeah
Bbº B7B7 E7E7
But I ain't seen hide 'nor hair of my baby, since she went away
A7A7
If Dr. Foster has got her, then I know I'm through
D7D7 Eb°
Because he's got medicine and, money too
A7A7 E7E7 A7A7
I ain't seen hide 'nor hair of my baby, since that day
D7D7 A7A7
