I looked out my window and saw my baby walk away

I hollered out my window, "Come back baby, please don′t go"


I know she heard me callin', she looked back and waved her hand
I know she heard me callin′, she looked back and waved her hand, yeah
I could hear her telling her mother

You know I watched my baby leaving, her mother held by the hand
I could hear her telling her mother
"Mother, that′s one no good man," yeah

I cried, "Lord, stop her, I ain't gonna get drunk no more"
I cried, "Lord, stop her, I ain′t gonna get drunk no more"
I hollered out my window, "Come back, baby, please don't go
