When i woke up this fine, bright morning It didn't look right to me It seemed like something was awful wrong And i wondered what it could be I been thinking about it all day long Trying to figure out what was wrong Well, the answer just now came to me My darling baby's gone I gotta go get my baby wherever he may be I gotta go get my baby and bring him home with me I hate to leave your company, it's jolly as can be But i gotta go get my baby and bring him home with me Well, i guess i took that guy of mine For granted too darn long He must of got tired of waiting 'round And thought he didn't belong But lawdy knows i love that man More than i've ever shown I'm gonna bring my loving baby back And place him on a throne I gotta go get my baby wherever he may be I gotta go get my baby and bring him home with me If i have to swim the ocean, well, look out mister sea 'cause i'm gonna go get my baby and bring him home with me
