It's so war-arm in here
Outside the night is clear
Think I need a walk
Have myself a little talk
Sleep, baby slee-eep
While your mama walks the stree-eet tonight
To think about your daddy, boy

(Oh boy) the mood I'm in
The pain I fee-eel in missin' him
Oh boy (oh boy), I can't explain
He haunts my mind, racks my brain...

I could comb every home, every neighbourhood bar
I would ride every greyhound or railroad car
Just to find him and say
Hey, wherever you are
Come on home, we love you, boy

So... I walk and weep
Through the downtown streets I wander sadly
Boy (oh boy), the mood I'm in
The pain I fee-eel in missin' him
Oh boy (oh boy), I can't explain
He haunts my mind, racks my brain

I could comb every home, every neighbourhood bar
I could ride every greyhound or railroad car
Just to find him and say
Hey, wherever you are
Come on home, we love you, boy

(Oh boy), the mood I'm in
The pain I fee-eel in missin' him
Oh boy (oh boy), I can't explain
He haunts my mind, racks my brain [fade]
