Have you seen my baby

On the avenue?

You know she's driving me crazy

With the funny things she do

I seen her with the milkman

Ridin' down the street

When you're through with my baby, milkman

Send her home to me

Hold on, hold on, hold on

Hold on, hold on, hold on

You know it's been so long

Since she have been gone

Hold on, hold on, hold on

I seen her with the gipsies

Dancin' in the wood

She's always been unfaithful to me

She ain't never been no good

I say, "Please don't talk to strangers, baby"

But she always do

She say, "I'll talk to strangers if I want to

'Cause I'm a stranger, too"

Hold on, hold on, hold on

Hold on, hold on, hold on

You know it's been so long

Since she have been gone

Hold on, hold on, hold on
