Well I'm tore down, I'm almost level with the ground 
Well I'm tore down, I'm almost level with the ground 
Well I feel like this, when my baby can't be found 
Well I went to the river, to jump in 
My baby showed up and said, "I will tell you when" 
Well I'm tore down, I'm almost level with the ground 
Well I feel like this, when my baby can't be found 
I love you baby with all my heart an' soul 
A love like mine will never grow old 
I love you in the morning and in the evening too 
But ev'rytime you leave me I get mad with you 
Well I'm tore down, I'm almost level with the ground 
Well I feel like this, when my baby can't be found 
I love you baby with all my might 
A love like mine is out a sight 
I'll lie for you if you want me to 
I really don't believe your love is true 
Well I'm tore down, I'm almost level with the ground 
Well I feel like this when my baby can't be found 
Well I'm tore down, I'm almost level with the ground 
Well I'm tore down, 'm almost level with the ground 
Well I feel like this, when my baby can't be found
