Teresa Brewer Lyrics
"I Gotta Go Get My Baby"

When I woke up this fine, bright morning
It didn't look right to me
It seemed like something was awful wrong
And I wondered what it could be

I been thinking about it all day long
Trying to figure out what was wrong
Well, the answer just now came to me
My darling baby's gone

I gotta go get my baby wherever he may be
I gotta go get my baby and bring him home with me
I hate to leave your company, it's jolly as can be
But I gotta go get my baby and bring him home with me

Well, I guess I took that guy of mine
For granted too darn long
He must of got tired of waiting 'round
And thought he didn't belong

But Lawdy knows I love that man
More than I've ever shown
I'm gonna bring my loving baby back
And place him on a throne

I gotta go get my baby wherever he may be
I gotta go get my baby and bring him home with me
If I have to swim the ocean, well, look out Mister Sea
'Cause I'm gonna go get my baby and bring him home with me
