Oh come back baby,
Oh mama please don't go.
Child, the way I love you,
Well, you'll never know, oh.


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
