Well, I was down at the landing
When the big boat was passing by
Well, I was down at the landing
When the big boat was passing by
Well, I couldn′t do a doggone thing that morning
Lord, but hang my head and cry
Well, I was standing there waiting
See, was my baby coming down?
Well, I was standing there waiting
See, was my baby coming down?
Lord, I couldn't see my baby
Lord, I didn′t know what to do
It was so many people
Standing there to welcome they baby home
It was so many people
Standing there to welcome they baby home
If poor Slim couldn't see his baby
God knows, get off the boat
Well, I'm gonna call up in Chicago
See if my baby coming home
I′m gonna call up in Chicago
See if my baby coming home
God knows, he told me to meet her that morning
And God knows, my baby, she couldn′t be seen
Yes, I said, "Look here, baby
God knows, is you coming home?
You ain't coming back to me now, baby
You′re out there worrying me, where you can go"
