Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I'm goin' home to see my baby

Big sweet baby of mine

Been so long without my baby

Till sometimes I feel I'm plum goin' outta my mind

[Verse 2]

I'm leavin' this town early next morning

Big sweet baby of mine

It won't be long before we're together now

Baby and me, happy till the end of time

[Verse 3]

I just can't go on without him

I miss him more and more each day

And all I do is dream about my baby and his lovin' ways

[Verse 4]

I need someone to love me

To take me by the hand

To lead me out of my misery and tell me he's still my man

[Verse 5]

That's why I'm goin' home to see my baby

Big sweet baby of mine

Been so long without my baby

Till sometimes I feel I'm plum goin' outta my mind

[Verse 6]

Don't want to be no traveler

Roamin' all around this world

I just want to be nearby my baby

'Cause I'm such a lonely girl

[Verse 7]

If I had a million dollars

I wouldn't be worth a dime

If I couldn't spend that million dollars

With my valentine

[Verse 8]

That's why I'm goin' home to see my baby

Big sweet baby of mine

Been so long without my baby

Till sometimes I feel I'm plum goin' outta my mind

Sometimes I feel I'm plum goin' outta my mind

Plum goin' outta my mind

Plum goin' outta my mind

Plum goin' outta my mind
