LYRIC
Come On Back Baby (Lovesick Blues)
That I need you now
Hey, run back, baby, fear I’m dyin’
Hear me pleadin’ now
Broken hearted and I’m sinkin’ fast
When we first got started I was sure we’d last
But the good times got to rollin’
Till they rolled right past
Honey, come on back home to me
These lovesick blues are killin’ me
Woke up this mornin’ with the blues all around me
Cloudin’ up the sky
Hid from the dawn but the day come and found me
Then it touched my eye
I made you special but you made me crawl
Around your heart you built a stone cold wall
Till you got to lovin’, girl, and then you loved them all
Hey, honey, come on back home to me
These lovesick blues are killing me
Come on back, baby, don’t you hear me cryin’
That I need you now
Hey, run back, baby, Lord I fear I’m dyin’
Hear me pleadin’ now
Yeah, I’m broken hearted and I’m sinkin’ fast
When we first got started I was sure we’d last
But the good times got to rollin’
Till they rolled right past
Honey, come on back home to me
These lovesick blues are killin’ me
Honey, come on back home to me
These lovesick blues are killin’ me
