Down on the bayou water
Cats riverside peddle their airs
Black stars wrinkle to implode
My heart is wart lined toad
Oh my babies gone on without me
I don't seem to have a single care
Oh my babies gone on without me
I don't have one old care

I said I wasn't not the man you wanted
I promised I was the only man you'd ever need
But now your frowning like its some kind of dare
I thought we were looking for some kind of peace?
Ahh' but now your gone baby
Your gone gone gone
Ahh your gone now baby
And I'm without a single care

Try to control me try to show me
The way that you want it to be
Take away this heart of mine
And shackle me never to be free
Ahh now my baby is gone
And I don't have a single care
Oh oh oh she's gone now
And I know life ain't supposed to be this unfair

When the times get too hard
And your looking for a brand new start
Just remember where you came from
Or you'll break down and start to starve
Ahh my baby done gone and left me
And I don't have a single care
Yes my baby done gone and left me
I got no riddle so I got no dare

I cry in my pillow tonight
Like I cried the night before
She whispered to me in a dream
Like she was the ripple atop a stream
Ahh my baby has gone and left me
And I don't care to have a care
Yeah my baby has gone and left me
I'm playing poker but I got no pairs

I told myself it wouldn't be easy
But I always knew I was a liar
Listen to me when I say this to you now
Love is true only if you believe it
Yes my baby went and left me
And I don't have ******* care
Yes my baby went and left me
Like a pear tree without any fruit to bear
