Hide Nor Hair
 作词 : Percy Mayfield
 作曲 : Percy Mayfield
Ohh, I was lying in the bed with fever
And I was burning up inside
My baby walked in my bedroom
And I could hardly open my eyes
She said that she was going to the pawnshop
Just across the track
She started packing some clothes in a hurry
And then she said she would be right back

But I haven't seen hide
'nor hair of my baby since that day, yeah
Well I haven't seen hide
'nor hair of my baby since she went away
I remember so well when she slammed the door
But the girl didn't make it back no more
I ain't seen hide 'nor hair of my baby since that day

Well, I waited for twenty four hours
And I was just about to starve to death
It didn't look like she was coming back
So I had to look out for myself
Well, I called the police department
To find out what they knew
They said, "No, by heck, but we will get her yet"
Because they was looking for her too

But I haven't seen hide
'nor hair of my baby since that day, yeah
Well I haven't seen hide
'nor hair of my baby since she went away
Well I don't know what happened a-cross the track
But I know my baby didn't make it back
I ain't seen hide 'nor hair of my baby
Since that day

Well, I called my Dr. Foster
And when the girl answered the phone
I got a funny feeling
The way she said 'Dr. Foster had gone'
She said, "He left with a lady patient
About twenty four hours ago"
I added two and two and here's what I got
I got I'll never see that girl no more

But I haven't seen hide
'nor hair of my baby since that day, yeah
Well I haven't seen hide
'nor hair of my baby since she went away
If Dr. Foster has got her, then I know I'm through
Because he's got medicine and, money too
I ain't seen hide 'nor hair of my baby
Since that day
Whoa, no
