I've got something that my baby wants
And I've got something that my baby wants
And she's got something that I want too
Baby and I are through
I've been down to the bottom
With a bad, bad man
Down to the bottom babe
With a bad, bad man
Lay me down with your gentle hand
Well he said this darkness, it was untrue
And first he said this darkness, darlin',
It was untrue
And that there was no light to be found in you
But I know, darlin', that that's not true
And I had a dream so black
That I could not tell
Oh, honey, I had a dream so dark
That I could not tell
But I know that's just as well
And I don't know, babe,
Just where you've been
I don't know, darlin',
Just where you've been
But I've hung myself heavy here
Babe, I don't know where the hell I am
I thought that man, babe,
He might have something that I need
I thought that man, darlin',
He might have something that I need
But he had no anger
For you or for me
And, babe, I swear
That man never even knew I was here
Some of these friends of mine
How I miss them so
Good Lord, these sweet friends of mine
How I miss them so
But some of these, others beg
Well they're driving me around
On some cold, dark, and strange
And deathly roads
Take me down to your river
I want to see how it runs
Down to your river, darlin',
I want to know just how it runs
But if that man
Waits on the path
Then I know for good
That I'm done
And I got a feeling
That man, he's just begun
And I've got something that my baby wants
And she's got something that I want too
Baby and I are through
I've been down to the bottom
With a bad, bad man
Down to the bottom babe
With a bad, bad man
Lay me down with your gentle hand
Well he said this darkness, it was untrue
And first he said this darkness, darlin',
It was untrue
And that there was no light to be found in you
But I know, darlin', that that's not true
