My Baby's Gone And I Don't Know Why
She Let Out This Morning
Like A Rusty Shot In A Hollow Sky
Left Me Without Warning
Sooner Than The Dogs Could Bark
And Faster Than The Sun Rose
Down To The Banks In An Old Mule Car
She Took A Flatboat Across The Shallow

[Chorus:]
Left Me In My Tears To Drown
She Left A Baby Daughter
Now The Water's Wide And Deep And Brown
She's Crossing Muddy Waters

Tobacco Standing In The Fields
Be Rotten Come November
And A Bitter Heart Will Not Reveal
A Spring That Love Remembers
When That Sweet Brown Girl Of Mine
Her Black Eyes Are Ravens
We Broke The Bread And Drank The Wine
From A Jug That She'd Been Saving

[Chorus]

Baby's Crying And The Daylight's Gone
That Big Oak Tree Is Groaning
In Rush Of Wind And River Of Song
I Can Hear My Sweetheart Moaning
Crying For Her Baby Child
Or Crying For Her Husband
Crying For That River's Wild
To Take Her From Her Loved Ones

[Chorus 2x]
