I Almost Lost My Mind

Fats Domino · I'm Walkin [2010]

When I lost my baby

I almost lost my mind

Ooh I'm sad

My head is in a spin



Since she's left me behind

Well I've passed a million people

I can't tell who I'm meet

Oh I've passed



My heart is full of misery

Where can my baby be

Well I went to a fortune teller

And I had my fortune read



Oh I'm sad

I hung my head with sorrow

When she said what she said

Well I can tell you people



The news was not so good

Oh no I knew

She said "your baby has left you

This time she's gone for good"
