Ah, the girls a valentine, shes fine
Her eyes are green and her hair is brown
Ah, thats a genuine woman that aint on hand in town
Well now, just as soon as I see her Im gonna say
Get your fine self right home!
And then just one more thing Ive gotta know
What in the world did I do to make the woman go?
Shes gone, yes shes gone
Shes gone, solid gone
Now she might be in Chicago,
I thought I saw her down in Tennessee
I traveled round the world to bring my baby on home to me
Shes gone, yes shes gone
Shes gone, solid gone
And now some people just call her sugar
Although her real name is Nancy Joe
Shes the only gal for me
Im going to be her steady boy
Ah, just as soon as I see her
Im gonna say you better get it on home today
Just one thing I need to know
What in the world did I do to make the woman go?
Shes gone, yes shes gone
Shes gone, solid gone
Well now she might be in Chicago
I thought I saw her down in Tennessee
I traveled round the world to bring my baby on home to me
