《 Ray Charles - Hide Nor Hair 》

Hide nor hair

Oh, I was lying in the bed with fever

And I was burning up inside

My baby walked in my bedroom

And I could hardly open my eyes

She said she was going to the pawn shop

Just across the track

She started packing some clothes in a hurry

And then she said she would be right back

But I ain't seen hide nor hair my baby since that day

Well I ain't seen hide nor hair 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 my baby since that day

Well I waited for her twenty four hours

And I was just about to starve to death

It didn't look like she was coming 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 were looking for her too.

But I ain't seen hide nor hair my baby since that day

Well I ain't seen hide nor hair 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 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 mo'

But I ain't seen hide nor hair my baby since that day

Well I ain't seen hide nor hair my baby since she went away

If Dr. foster has got her then I know I'm through

Cause he's got medicine and money too.

I ain't seen hide nor hair my baby since that day.

Whoa no
