My Baby Left Me / That's Alright Mama
Slade · The Very Best Of Slade [2005]
Well my baby left me and never said a word
Was it something I done or something that she heard
You know she left me, My baby left me
You know she even left me and never said a word.
Well I stand by my window wring my hands and cry
You know the one I love never said goodbye
You know she left me, My baby left me
You know she even left me and never said a word.
Well that's alright my mama, that's alright by me
That's alright my mama any old way you choose
Well that's alright (That's alright), Ooh that's alright (That's alright)
Well, That's alright my mama any old way you choose.
Take it big boy
You know that one and one is two, two and two is four,
Ooh you know my little baby she don't come round no more.
My baby left me (That's alright), You know she left me (That's alright),
My baby even left me never said a word (That's alright), (That's alright),
You know my baby left me never said a word (That's alright), (That's alright),
You know my baby baby left me never said a word, She's Gone.
Was it something I done or something that she heard
You know she left me, My baby left me
You know she even left me and never said a word.
Well I stand by my window wring my hands and cry
You know the one I love never said goodbye
You know she left me, My baby left me
You know she even left me and never said a word.
Well that's alright my mama, that's alright by me
That's alright my mama any old way you choose
Well that's alright (That's alright), Ooh that's alright (That's alright)
Well, That's alright my mama any old way you choose.
Take it big boy
You know that one and one is two, two and two is four,
Ooh you know my little baby she don't come round no more.
My baby left me (That's alright), You know she left me (That's alright),
My baby even left me never said a word (That's alright), (That's alright),
You know my baby left me never said a word (That's alright), (That's alright),
You know my baby baby left me never said a word, She's Gone.
