Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Well, don't the moon look lonesome shining through the tree
Don't the moon look lonesome shining through the tree
Don't your house look lonesome when your baby packs up and leaves
[Verse 2]
Yes, she's little and low and she built up from the ground
Well, she's little and low and she built from the ground
Just before day, she'll make your love come down
[Verse 3]
Well, I sent for you yesterday, here you come today
Girl, I sent for you yesterday, here you come today
If you can keep me, baby, go on cheatin' that that way
[Verse 4]
Yeah, baby
[Verse 5]
I'd love to hear my baby call my name
Yeah, I'd love to hear my baby call my name
She can call so easy and so doggone plain
[Verse 6]
Well, I sent for you yesterday, here you come today
Girl, I sent for you yesterday, here you come today
You can't love me, pretty baby, and treat me that way
[Verse 7]
Hey, everyday I got the blues
Well, you can come back to Joe
And you came back for Jimmy
Now it's time for you to come back to me
[Verse 8]
Come back home
Come back home
Come on home, baby
Alright, ok, you win
