Well, my baby walked off, she musta layed down and died
Well, my baby walked off, she musta layed down and died
Lord, I wish she was here, layin' up by my side

Well, I'm so doggone worried, I can't be satisfied
Well, I'm so doggone worried, can't be satisfied
Well, the woman walked off from me, boy, she musta walked off and died

I'm gonna call the highway man, tell him, my baby musta been out and died
I'm gonna call the highway man an tell him, my baby done walked off and died
Please find my baby, cause then I'm satisfied

Well she just walked off, know she's just my kind
Well she just walked off, know she's just my kind
Lord, I'm crazy 'bout the woman, she done walked off an died
