The sun rises in the east lover, it sets deeply in the west

The sun rises in the east lover, it sets deeply in the west

I've been looking for my lover, and I haven't found her yet



I'm gonna call up China and see if my baby's over there

I'm gonna call up China and see if my baby's over there

You know I looked the whole world over, I can't find my lover nowhere



She won't write me no letters, won't even call me on the telephone

She won't write me no letters, won't even call me on the telephone

You know I haven't had no real good lovin' since that gal of mine been gone



Someday baby, you're gonna want me like I want you

Someday baby, you're gonna want me like I want you

But when I call you on the phone darlin', I'll say I have nothing for you to do
