Oh mama please don't go.
Child, the way I love you,
Well, you'll never know, oh.
[Chorus:]
Come back baby,
Yeah yeah,
Let's talk it over one more time.
Well I admit, baby,
That I was wrong.
Don't you know, baby,
Child you've been gone too long.
[Chorus]
I said if I could holler
Like a mountain jack,
I'd go up on the mountain,
People, I'd call my baby back, oh.
[Chorus]
Now one of these days, baby,
And it won't be long, yeah.
You're gonna look for me, child, you know,
And I'll be gone. So...
[Chorus]
