[Verse 1]
Well, when I woke up this fine, bright morning
It didn't look right to me
It seemed like something was awful wrong
And I wondered what it could be
Been thinking about it all day long
Trying to figure out what was wrong
Well, the answer just now came to me
My darling baby's gone
[Chorus]
I gotta go get my baby wherever she may be
I gotta go get my baby and bring her home with me
I hate to leave your company, it's jolly as can be
But I gotta go get my baby and bring her home with me
[Verse 2]
Well, I guess I took that gal of mine
For granted too darn long
She must of got tired of waiting 'round
And thought she didn't belong
But lawdy knows I love that gal
More than I've ever shown
I'm gonna bring my loving baby back
And place her on my throne
[Chorus]
I gotta go get my baby wherever she may be
I gotta go get my baby and bring her home with me
If I have to swim the ocean, well, look out Mister Sea
But I gotta go get my baby and bring her home with me
