 My baby's gone, won't be back no mo'
 She won't be back no mo', whoa-ooh
 My baby's gone, she won't be back no mo'
 She left this mo'nin', she caught that Seminole
 I got the blues so bad
 It hurt my tongue to talk
 It hurt my tongue to talk, ooh-ooh
 The blues so bad
 It hurt my tongue to talk
 I would follow my baby
 But it hurt my feet to walk
 (instrumental) slide guitar
 She gimme her love
 Even let me draw her pay
 She let me draw her pay, yeah
 She give me her love
 Even let me draw her pay
 She was a real good woman
 But unkindness drove her 'way
 (instrumental) slide guitar
 I've got the Seminole blues
 Leaving on my mind
 Leaving on my mind, whoa-ooh
 Seminole blues, leaving on my mind
 I'm goin' to find my baby
 If I have to ride the blind.
