[Chorus]
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

[Verse 1]
Well, I went to the river
To jump in
My baby showed up and said
"I will tell you when"

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

[Verse 2]
I love you, baby, with all my heart and soul
A love like mine will never grow old
I love you in the morning and in the evening, too
But every time you leave me, I get mad with you
[Chorus]
Well, I'm tore down
I'm almost level with the ground
Well, I feel like this
When my baby can't be found

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
I love you, baby, with all my might
A love like mine is out of sight
I'll lie for you if you want me to
I really don't believe your love is true

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

[Outro]
A-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
