                   G5
I've been sinkin' low, I can't find my baby
                   D5                   G5
I've been sinkin' low, I can't find my baby
                   C5                   G5
I've been high and low, faces of these stone walls
                     D5                           G5
Don't know where she goes, but I know that she's gone

            G5
Her skin is dark and softer than a baby's
                  D5                        G5
When she sings to me her voice is sweet as candy
                  C5                       G5
Her lips are rose red, as sweet as cheery wine
                       D5                              G5
Her eyes are green and blue, they can't make up their mind

                  G5                       
I've been sinkin' low, I can't find my baby
                  D5                    G5
I've been sinkin' low, I can't find my baby
                   C5                   G5
I've been high and low, faces of these stone walls
                     D5                           G5
Don't know where she goes, but I know that she's gone

                 G5                           
Went down to the station, I thought that I would find you
                           D5                          G5
With your suit case on the ground, I knew I was right behind you, yeah
                   C5                            G5
As the train doors closed I saw you through the window
                    D5                         G5
You watched me as I waved; the train took you away

                  G5                             
I've been sinkin' low, I can't find my baby
                  D5                    G5
I've been sinkin' low, I can't find my baby
                   C5                   G5
I've been high and low, faces of these stone walls
                     D5                           G5
Don't know where she goes, but I know that she's gone

I know that she's gone

I saw that building burned down, when I got to your front lawn
I thought that you'd be here, yeah, but you'd already gone
I went down to the river, you hid under the water
And then you held your breath, yeah, and then you disappeared

I've been sinkin' low, I can't find my baby
I've been sinkin' low, I can't find my baby
I've been high and low, faces of these stone walls
Don't know where she goes, I don't know where she goes
