My Mind Is Trying To Leave Me

I went to breakfast this mo'nin, down to the corner bar
 I thought I heard my baby call my name, an' it came from so far
 I started runnin' an' answerin', like a crazy fool would do
 Aha, ya' see, my woman gone away an' left me
 An' now my mind is tryin' to leave me too
 Now my friend stepped out the bar
 An' stopped me an' offered me a drink
 I went in an' had a double
 An' I began to think about my baby
 Aha, like a crazy fool would do
 You see, my woman gone away an' left me
 An' now my mind is tryin' to leave me too
 Oh!
 Ha-ah, I went into the barber shop an' ordered ham an' eggs
 An' each barber gave me fifty cent
 They thought I was tryin' to beg
 An' I started cryin' like a baby (like a baby, ha)
 Like any fool would do
 You see my woman gone away an' left me
 An' now my mind is tryin' to leave me too
