Yes, my baby Lord, yes my baby
Yeah, she caught that southern train
Well, my baby, God, she caught that southern train
Well, I heard the whistle blow
Well, crying in my brain
Well, it blowed, Lord
It blowed like it never blowed before
Yes, it blowed
It blowed like it never blowed before
Well, I saw my baby leave
Well, now she'll come back no more
Well, I cried, Lord, I cried
I said, train, bring my baby back to me
Yes, I cried, Lord, I cried
Bring my baby back to me
Well, if you can't bring back my baby
Just bring back my used to be
Why did, why did she go?
Well, people, I really want to know
Why did she, why did she leave?
People, I really want to know
Won't somebody tell me just why did my woman go?
Yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Lord, bring me back
Bring my baby back to me
Please, I'm crying, Lord
Bring my baby back to me
Well, if you can't bring back my baby
Just bring me back my used to be
