I went to the grave and I fell down on my knees
I said "Graveyard digger, give me back my fair brown please"
Lord I ain't got no lovin' baby now
I ain't got no lovin' baby now
I went to the line, Lord some old train will run
Take me back, to my baby, honey where I come from, Lord
I ain't got no lovin' baby now
I ain't got me no mo' lovin' baby now
I'd rather be dead, and buried in my grave
Then to be 'round here, mama treated this a-way, honey
I ain't got no lovin' baby now
I ain't got no lovin' baby now
Said I dreamed last night, my bed was fallin' down
But it 'twas my woman, she was makin' her last go round, Lord
I ain't got no lovin' baby now
'Cus I ain't got no lovin' baby now
I'd rather see my coffin come rollin' in my door
Hear my woman say, that she don't want me no more, Lord
I ani't got no lovin' baby now
I ain't got no lovin' baby now
My baby done quit me, b'lieve she throwed me down
It would hurt me so bad, but the talk's all over town, Lord
I ain't got no lovin' baby now
