When I woke up this morning 'twas still too dark to see
But I could tell my baby wasn't sleepin' next to me
She's gone and left me, where to I'll never know
I only know her leavin's brought pain and misery to my soulThe note was on the pillow, she's gone without a doubt
I tried to read her writin' but I couldn't make it out
The tears were fallin' too fast for me to see
Nobody knows my sorrow, nobody knows my miseryMy friends told me she'd leave me, I said they wasn't right
She gave no word of warnin', she'd be leavin' in the night
Can't understand her, what made her want to go
I didn't hear her leavin', she didn't even close the doorIf she came home tomorrow I'd jump and shout with glee
She can't mean more to someone else than what she means to me
I love that woman, I need her all the time
I've got to have her near me to ease this misery on my mind
