Ohhhh, I was lying in the bed with fever 
      D7                Ebº 
And I was, burning up inside 
A7                    Bbº 
My baby walked, in my bedroom 
            B7             E7 
And I could hardly open my eyes  

A7 
She said that she was going to the pawnshop 
D7              Ebº 
Just across the track 
            A7                        Bbº 
She started packing some clothes in a hurry 
             B7             E7       A7 
And then she said she would be right back 

                 A7 
But I ain't seen hide `nor hair of my baby, since that day, yeah 
                                       Bbº  B7                 E7 
Well I ain't seen hide `nor hair of my baby, since she went away 
    A7 
I remember so well when she slammed the door 
        D7                  Ebº 
But the girl didn't make it back no more 
             A7                   E7               A7  D7  E7 
I ain't seen hide `nor hair of my baby, since that day 

        A7                             D7 
Well, I waited for 24 hours, and I was just about to starve to 
Ebº 
Death 
          A7                Bbº               B7 
It didn't look like she was comin' back, so I had to look out for  
  E7 
Myself 
       A7                            D7                       Ebº 
Well I called, the police department, to find out what they knew 
            A7                       Bbº                        B7 
They said, 'No, by heck, but we will get her yet', because they was  
            D7  A7 
Lookin' for her too 

                  A7 
Well I ain't seen hide `nor hair of my baby, since that day, yeah 
                                       Bbº   B7                E7 
Well I ain't seen hide `nor hair of my baby, since she went away 
             A7 
Well I don't know what happened a-cross the track 
      D7                  Ebº 
But I know my baby didn't make it back 
             A7                   E7               A7   
I ain't seen hide `nor hair of my baby, since that day 

( A7  D7  Ebº  A7 ) 
( B7  A7  D7  E7 ) 

       A7                                  D7                Ebº 
Well I called, my Dr. Foster, and when the girl answered the phone  

A7            Bbº                  B7                  E7 
I got a funny feeling, the way she said Dr. Foster had gone 
              A7                            D7          Ebº 
She said, 'He left with a lady patient, about 24 hours ago' 
        A7                      Bbº                    B7 
I added two and two, and here's what I got: I got I'll never see  
     D7       A7 
That girl no more 

                  A7 
Well I ain't seen hide `nor hair of my baby, since that day, yeah 
                                      Bbº  B7                 E7 
But I ain't seen hide `nor hair of my baby, since she went away 
       A7 
If Dr. Foster has got her, then I know I'm through 
        D7                     Ebº 
Because he's got medicine and, money too 
             A7                   E7               A7    
I ain't seen hide `nor hair of my baby, since that day 

D7      A7 
Whoaah, no
