(Original by John Hiatt)
2
My baby's gone and I don't know why
3
She let out this morning
4
like a rusty shot in a hollow sky
5
Left me without warning
6
sooner than the dogs could bark
7
and faster than the sun rose
8
Down to the banks in an old mule car
9
she took a flatboat across the shallow
10
CHORUS:
11
Left me in my tears to drown
12
she left a baby daughter
13
Now the water's wide and deep and brown
14
She's crossing muddy waters
15
Tobacco standing in the fields
16
be rotten come November
17
And a bitter heart will not reveal
18
a spring that love remembers
19
When that sweet brown girl of mine her black eyes are ravens
20
We broke the bread and drank the wine
21
from a jug that she'd been saving
22
REPEAT CHORUS
23
Baby's crying and the daylight's gone
24
That big oak tree is groaning
25
In rush of wind and river of song
26
I can hear my sweetheart moaning
27
Crying for her baby child
28
or crying for her husband
29
Crying for that river's wild
30
to take her from her loved ones
31
REPEAT CHORUS TWICE
