I need a little girl to call my own
I'm tired of livin' in this world alone
I'm in love, yes I'm in love, my baby's gone
I used to work both night and day
Now I can't go on since she's away
But I love her, yes I love her, oh yes I do
Now I'm in trouble up to my neck
I pray, pray home all my checks
But I still love her, yes I love her, oh yes I do
