Ray Charles - Hide nor Hair lyrics

Ohhhh, I was lying in the bed with fever

And I was, burning up inside

My baby walked, in my bedroom

And I could hardly open my eyes

She said that she was going to the pawnshop

Just across the track

She started packing some clothes in a hurry

And then she said she would be right back

But I ain't seen hide 'nor hair of my baby, since that day, yeah

Well I ain't seen hide 'nor hair of my baby, since she went away

I remember so well when she slammed the door

But the girl didn't make it back no more

I ain't seen hide 'nor hair of my baby, since that day

Well, I waited for 24 hours, and I was just about to starve to death

It didn't look like she was comin' back, so I had to look out for myself

Well I called, the police department, to find out what they knew

They said, "No, by heck, but we will get her yet", because they was lookin' for her too

Well I ain't seen hide 'nor hair of my baby, since that day, yeah

Well I ain't seen hide 'nor hair of my baby, since she went away

Well I don't know what happened a-cross the track

But I know my baby didn't make it back

I ain't seen hide 'nor hair of my baby, since that day

[Instrumental Break]

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

I got a funny feeling, the way she said Dr. Foster had gone

She said, "He left with a lady patient, about 24 hours ago"

I added two and two, and here's what I got: I got I'll never see that girl no more

Well I ain't seen hide 'nor hair of my baby, since that day, yeah

But I ain't seen hide 'nor hair of my baby, since she went away

If Dr. Foster has got her, then I know I'm through

Because he's got medicine and, money too

I ain't seen hide 'nor hair of my baby, since that day

Whoaah, no
