Lyrics for Song: Hide nor Hair
Lyrics for Album: Hallelujah I Love Her So! [2010]
Ohh, I was lyin' in the bed with fever
And I was burnin' up inside
My baby walked in my bedroom
And I could hardly open my eyes
She said that she was goin' to the pawnshop
Just across the track
She started packin' 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 twenty four 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
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
Well, I don't know what happened across 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 twenty four 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, woh, no

Charles's vocal delivery on this recording captures the raw intensity characteristic of his work, moving seamlessly between melancholy and hope. As part of a vast catalogue of influential recordings, the piece highlights his role in shaping modern American music. It remains a testament to his enduring legacy as a performer who could convey complex human experiences through melody and phrasing alone. |
