Part 1: 
Blues has got me, there is teardrops in my eyes 
Yes the blues has got me, there is teardrops in my eyes 
Well dark is the night, since my baby said goodbye 
Oh how I've suffered since my baby went away 
Yes how I've suffered since my baby went away 
And I've got that feeling that my baby's gone to stay 
Take me back baby, forgive me for the wrong I've done 
Yes take me back darling, forgive me for the wrong I've done 
Well I know I love you, and you're the only one 
Yes talk to me baby, call me on the telephone 
Yeah talk to me baby, call me on the telephone 
Yes the blues has got me, and I want my baby home 
Yes if your baby love you, keep her home and treat her nice 
Oh if your baby love you, you better keep her home and treat her nice 
Well never mistreat a good woman, this is some doggone good advice 
Part 2: 
Yes it's been so long since I've seen my baby's face 
Well it's been so long since I've seen my baby's face 
I'm tellin' you people, no one else can ever take her place 
Yes the doorbell is ringing, I know there must be somethin' wrong 
Yes the doorbell is ringing, I know it must be somethin' wrong 
Well look-a here it's my baby, she's done changed her mind and come home 
So hurry baby, come on in and close the door 
Yes hurry baby, come on in and close the door 
Let me put my arms around you baby, so my nights won't be dark no more
