When I lost my baby
I almost lost my mind
When I lost my baby
I almost lost my mind

My head's in a spin since she's left me behind

I went to see the gypsy
And had my fortune read
I went to see the gypsy
And had my fortune read

I hung my head in sorrow when she said what she said

She said, she said: "It's so hard to love somebody
And no, she don't love you
And it's so hard when there's nobody
And not somebody to tell your sorrows to"

You know, I really didn't need this lady
To tell the things I always knew

Mmm, I can tell you, people
The news was not so good
I can tell you, people
The news was not so good

She said: "Your baby's left you"
"This time she's gone for good"
