Mr police captain : listen to my plea
I want to make my baby : come back home to me
Give me a search warrant : and a great big hound
I'm going to find my baby : if I have to track her down
I know where she's at : but her man won't let me in
All I want is a search warrant : and a bottle of gin
I'm going to get running drunk : and go into that place
And that backbiting man : better not show his face
I love my baby : but she treat me so unkind
If she thinks she can quit me : she really have lost her 
mind
