Again, this song was written whilst I was working hard teaching myself to play blues piano, vainly, it turned out, trying to emulate the masters. It's got that "woman left me and treated my bad" lyric, which pervaded lots of the old blues songs.
lyrics
Ain’t got my baby
Ain’t got my baby - Oh my my my
Ain’t got my baby -Why why why
She left me stranded when she said goodbye
I lost everything when she left home
I ain’t got my baby
She’s gone gone gone
I ain’t got my baby
She’s gone gone gone
I ain’t got my baby, She’s gone
I lost my baby – she just run run run
I lost my baby – It’s done done done
I’ll start again, I’ll have to be strong
She took away her lovin’, when she left home
I ain’t got my baby
She’s gone gone gone
I ain’t got my baby
She’s gone gone gone
I ain’t got my baby, She’s gone
Got nothin’ to lose - She was mine mine mine
Got nothin’ to lose - I was fine fine fine
I’ll make a new life, It’ll take some time
I’ll go out dancing, but I’ll be on my own
Cos’ I - ain’t got my baby
She’s gone gone gone
I ain’t got my baby
She’s gone gone gone
I ain’t got my baby, She’s gone
