Well I'm tore down, I'm almost level with the ground
Well I'm tore down, I'm almost level with the ground
Well I feel like this, when my baby can't be found

Well I went to the river, to jump in
My baby showed up and said, "I will tell you when"

Well I'm tore down, I'm almost level with the ground
Well I feel like this, when my baby can't be found

I love you baby with all my heart an' soul
A love like mine will never grow old
I love you in the morning and in the evening too
But ev'rytime you leave me I get mad with you

Well I'm tore down, I'm almost level with the ground
Well I feel like this, when my baby can't be found

I love you baby with all my might
A love like mine is out a sight
I'll lie for you if you want me to
I really don't believe your love is true

Well I'm tore down, I'm almost level with the ground
Well I feel like this when my baby can't be found

Well I'm tore down, I'm almost level with the ground
Well I'm tore down, 'm almost level with the ground
Well I feel like this, when my baby can't be found
