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
