Lyrics:

Have you seen my baby
On the avenue?
You know she drives me crazy
With the funny things?she?do

I've seen her?with the milkman
They was walkin' down?the street
I say 'When you're through with my baby, Mr. Milkman
Send her on home to me'

Hold on, baby, hold on
Hold on, baby, hold on
Oh, it's been so long
Since my gal has been gone
Hold on, baby, hold on

I seen her with the gypsy
They was dancin' in the wood
You know that girl ain't never been faithful to me, people
Lord, she ain't no good

I said 'Please don't talk to strangers, mama'
But she always do
She said 'I'll talk to stranger if I want to
I'm a stranger, too'

Hold on, baby, hold on
Hold on, baby, hold on
Oh, it's been so long
Since my gal has been gone
Hold on, baby, hold on


I seen her with a gypsy
They was dancin' in the wood
You know that girl ain't never been faithful to me, people
Lord, she just no good

I said 'Please don't talk to strangers, mama'
But she always do
She said 'I'll talk to strangers if I want to
'Cause I'm a stranger, too'

Hold on, baby, hold on
Hold on, baby, hold on
Whoa, it's been so long
Since my gal has been gone
So hold on, babe, hold on

Hold on, baby, hold on
Hold on, baby, hold on
(Whooh, whooh, whoooh
Whooh, ooh, yeah
Uhhh, mooh)
