You Done Lost Your Baby

Conway Twitty · Feelins' (Conway Twitty & Loretta Lynn) [1975]

(Conway Twitty)



I came home last night about a quarter past four

Without a worry on my mind

I slowly slipped through the kitchen door

I thought I was doing right fine.



But when I sneaked into my room

And started to slip in the bed

I found the note into the wall

And this is what it said.



You done lost your baby

Lost your baby lost your baby tonight

You done lost your baby, honey

Baby you just ain't been treatin' your baby right.



You come home every night

About a quarter past four

And then you come a sneakin'

Through the kitchen door.



You done lost your baby

Lost your baby, lost your baby tonight

Well, my knees started shakin'

And my stomach was achin'.



And my head went into a spin

I said this just couldn't happened to me

This must be a dream that I'm in.



So I stood there a shakin' for a minute or two

And then I sat down on the bed

But when I opened her note once more

Still it plainly read.



You done lost your baby

Lost your baby, lost your baby tonight

You done lost your baby honey

Baby you just ain't been treatin' your baby right.



Oh well, you trifled on your bed

So many times before

But you ain't gonna trifle

On your baby no more.



You done lost your baby

Lost my baby, lost your baby tonight, yeah...
