[Verse 1]
My baby's gone
She runnin' 'round with someone else
My baby's gone
She runnin' 'round with someone else
She won't come back
I just can't help myself

[Verse 2]
She left last night
Just about half past nine
She left late last night, now
Just about half past nine
Why'd she leave me?
I just can't keep from cryin'

[Guitar Solo]
(Yeah, I'm gonna moan a little bit now, hey-ah)
(Yeah, why'd you do that to me, baby?)
(You know I love you)
(Yeah, I'd do anything you want me to do)

[Verse 3]
Well, what you gonna do
When your troubles they get like mine?
Well, what you gonna do
When your troubles they get like mine?
You take a mouth full of sugar
Drink a bottle of turpentine
[Guitar Solo]
(Hey, come on now)
(Aw, I got trouble)
(Seem like bad luck follow me everywhere I go)
(Now, I want you to remember this, now)

[Verse 3]
What you gonna do
When your troubles they get like mine?
Well, what you gonna do
When your troubles they get like mine?
(Yeah, I got 'em)
You take a mouth full of sugar
Drink a bottle of turpentine

[Outro]
(Aw, yeah, that'll kill everything else, baby)
(Aw)
(Yeah)
