 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 gypsies

Dancin' in the wood

She's always been unfaithful to me

She 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

 Hold on, hold on, hold on
