It was a cold black night and the rain was fallin' down
It was a cold black night and the rain was fallin' down
It was a cold back night
The night that my baby left town

It was the darkest day and the wind was a-howlin' through
It was the darkest day and the wind came a-howlin' through
It was the darkest day
The day my baby said boo-hoo

Come back baby, I never did you no wrong
Come back baby, I never did you no wrong
I been in the front room
Ever since you been gone

It was a cold black night and the rain was falling down
It was a cold black night and the rain was falling down
It was a cold back night
The night my baby left town

It was the darkest day and the wind came a-howlin' through
It was the darkest day and the wind came a-howlin' through
It was the darkest day
The day my baby said boo-hoo

It was a cold back night
It was a cold back night
It was a cold back night
It was a cold back night

It was a cold black night and the rain was fallin' down
It was a cold black night and the rain was fallin' down
It was a cold back night
The night that my baby left this town

It was a cold back night
It was a cold back night
It was a cold back night
It was a cold back night
It was a cold back night
The night that my baby left town

It was a cold back night
