It's three o'clock in the morning baby, oh, I can't even close my eyes
Well, I can't find my baby, keep on lookin' be satisfied

I've looked around me, people, hey, and my baby she knows she can't be found
Looked all around me, people, oh, my baby, she can't be found
Well, if I don't find my baby, I'm going down to the Golden Ground
That's where the men hang out down there, they shoot pool, you know

Goodbye, everybody, oh, I believe this is the end,
oh, goodbye everybody, oh I believe this is the end
You can tell my baby, to forgive me for my sins
