Lyrics

I’m lost and lookin’ for my baby
Wonder why my baby can’t be found
I’m lost and lookin’ for my baby
Lord knows my baby ain’t around

So I’m lost and lookin’ for my baby
Wonder why my baby can’t be found
Lost and searching for my baby
Lord knows my baby ain’t around

Crying for my baby, crying all alone
I’m lost and a-calling for my baby
Baby won’t you please come home
I’m lost and a-calling for my baby
I need you ‘cause I’m so alone
