My Best Gal Gonna Leave Me

Is my best girl gonna leave me

And she won't be back no more

I said my best girl gonna leave me

And she won't be back no more

If I wonder what I done to my baby

She left this drive along so

I said she's gone, she's gone

And I'll soon be gone myself

I said she's gone, she's gone

And I'll soon be gone myself

If I don't get the woman I'm loving

Lord, I don't want no one else

I said she can't stay long

All her clothes is in pawn

I said she can't stay long

All her clothes is in pawn

And I know she will be back

When her time have come

Yes, I know my baby

Someday she gonna jump and shout

I said my baby

Someday she gonna jump and shout

When that poor Rosa mama

And her daddy come walking out
