Lyrics

She went away for the holidays
Said she's going to L.A.
But she never got there
She never got there
She never got there, they say, yeah
She went away for the holidays
Said she's going to L.A.
But she never got there
She never got there
She never got there, they say, yeah
The KKK took my baby away
They took her away
Away from me
The KKK took my baby away
They took her away
Away from me
Hey-ho, hey-ho
I don't know
Where my baby can be
They took her from me
They took her from me
I don't know
Where my baby can be
They took her from me
They took her from me
Ring me, ring me, ring me
Up the president
And find out
Where my baby went
Ring me, ring me, ring me
Up the FBI
And find out if
My baby's alive
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
She went away for the holidays
Said she's going to L.A.
But she never got there
She never got there
She never got there, they say, yeah
She went away for the holidays
Said she's going to L.A.
But she never got there
She never got there
She never got there, they say, yeah
The KKK took my baby away
They took her away
Away from me
The KKK took my baby away
They took her away (Whoa)
Away from me
The KKK took my baby away
They took her away (Whoa)
Away from me
The KKK took my baby away
They took my girl (Whoa)
They took my baby away
