Woke up way after midnight, people
Just a little while, a little while before day
I could find no satisfaction
Turned on my pillow to where my baby lay
I remembered i was in a strange old town then
My sweet little angel she's so far away
Now i ain't got no friends here
Ain't got no, no good place to go
All my friends are back home
And i can't, i can't go there no more
You know i done just a little bit wrong
And i can't go back no more
Take me back baby
I can't help it if i need you so
Well i've been a bad man darling
But i won't, i won't get drunk no more
But if you did not did like you do
Baby i wouldn't have had to go
I'm coming back baby, baby i'm coming home
I'm coming back baby, baby i'm coming home
The way i love you darling
You've got to, got to know
