Lord and I can’t be sat-is-fied.

I’ve looked all around me, people,
And my baby, she can’t be found.
You know if I don’t find my baby,
People, I’m going down to the golden ground.
Goodbye everybody,
I believe this is the end.
Oh, goodbye everybody,
I believe this is the end.
I want you to tell my baby,
Tell her please, please forgive me,
Forgive me for my sins.
