My room was empty, and my woman was gone
 I didn't have a nickel, and all my clothes in pawn

 I asked my next door neighbor, which-a-way did my baby go?
 Asked my next door neighbor, which-a-way did my baby go?
 She says she left for the border, down in old Mexico

 I found a note on the floor, it almost sent me off in a trance
 I found a note on the floor, it almost sent me off in a trance
 She said it's nothin' that you done, I'm just leavin' in advance

 Yes, yes, yes

 It's so hard when a woman leave you, and leave you on a zoom
 You come home feelin' very happy, and find only a empty room
