Hide Nor Hair

Ohhhh, I was lying in the bed with fever
 And I was, burning up inside
 My baby walked, in my bedroom
 And I could hardly open my eyes
 She said that she was going to the pawnshop
 Just across the track
 She started packing some clothes in a hurry
 And then she said she would be right back
 But I ain't seen hide 'nor hair of my baby, since that day, yeah
 Well I ain't seen hide 'nor hair of my baby, since she went away
 I remember so well when she slammed the door
 But the girl didn't make it back no more
 I ain't seen hide 'nor hair of my baby, since that day
 Well, I waited for 24 hours, and I was just about to starve to death
 It didn't look like she was comin' back
 So I had to look out for myself
 Well I called, the police department, to find out what they knew
 They said, "No, by heck, but we will get her yet"
 Because they was lookin' for her too
 Well I ain't seen hide 'nor hair of my baby, since that day, yeah
 Well I ain't seen hide 'nor hair of my baby, since she went away
 Well I don't know what happened a-cross the track
 But I know my baby didn't make it back
 I ain't seen hide 'nor hair of my baby, since that day
 Well I called, my Dr. Foster, and when the girl answered the phone
 I got a funny feeling, the way she said Dr. Foster had gone
 She said, "He left with a lady patient, about 24 hours ago"
 I added two and two, and here's what I got
 I got I'll never see that girl no more
 Well I ain't seen hide 'nor hair of my baby, since that day, yeah
 But I ain't seen hide 'nor hair of my baby, since she went away
 If Dr. Foster has got her, then I know I'm through
 Because he's got medicine and, money too
 I ain't seen hide 'nor hair of my baby, since that day
 Whoaah, no
