Said I went down by that freight depot
And that freight train he come rollin` by
Lord and I sure ain`t got no lovin` baby now
And I sure ain`t got no lovin` baby now
And I went off in that far distant land
I wasn`t there long before I got a telegram
(What did it say?)
Sayin` now man won`t you please come home
Now man won`t you please come home
Then I went back home, I looked on the bed
And that best old friend I had was dead
Lord, and I ain`t got no lovin` baby now
And I ain`t got no lovin` baby now
And I`m sorry, sorry, sorry to my heart
But that best old friend someday must part
Lord I ain`t got no lovin` baby now
And I ain`t got no lovin` baby now
(Play it for me now)
Now as sure as the birds wings in the sky above
Life ain`t worth livin` if you ain`t with the one you love
Lord and I ain`t got no lovin` baby now
Lord I ain`t got no lover now
If I`d knowed you didn`t love me and didn`t want me to
I would`ve taken morphine and died
Lord I ain`t got no lovin` baby now
And I ain`t got no lovin` baby now
