Tampa Red - Waiting Blues

I've been waiting, but the mail-man leave no mail
I've been waiting, but the mail-man leave no mail
So I'm just drifting and worrying like a ship without a sail

Baby, oh baby, please come back to me
Baby, oh baby, please come back to me
Why your little daddy is lonesome, as any poor man can be

Why did you leave me and why are you stayin' so long
Why did you leave me and why did you stay so long
Don't you realize you are doing your daddy wrong

I'm not certain but I think I understand
I'm not certain but I think I understand
You just cared less about me than you did for your other man

So you know my number call me up some timе
You know my number baby call me up some timе
Well you could at least write me and ease my worried mind
