I've got to find my baby,
I declare I wouldn't lie
I got to find my baby,
I declare I wouldn't lie
I ain't had no real good lovin',
since that girl said goodbye

Well my father was a good lord,
and his words will never die
You may look good baby,
but you gotto hang your head and cry
I got to find my baby,
I declare I wouldn't lie
I ain't had no real good lovin',
since that girl said goodbye

Now I'm gonna walk the floor baby,
'til my moustache drag the ground
I got to find my baby 'cause I,
I know where she could be found
I'm gonna find my baby,
I declare I wouldn't lie
I had no real good lovin',
since that girl said goodbye

Girl I know if it's the last thing,
I ever do in my life
I'm gonna find my big leg brownskin and,
make her my wife
I got to find my baby,
I declare I wouldn't lie
I ain't had no real good lovin',
since that girl said goodbye

Well I hate to see the sun,
scurry to the West
I know my whole life gonna,
be a solid mess
I got to find my baby,
I declare I wouldn't lie
I ain't had no real good lovin',
since that girl said goodbye
