C G Am F

My baby, she’s gone, she been gone since yesterday

I’m singing the blues, I’m singing the blues

And I am the line without a hook

Am F

For you, I am the line without a hook

My baby, she’s cute, she’s so cute when she’s mad

My baby, she’s smart, I’ve been singing since the start

I was scared of love, I was scared of the truth
