Went away, babe, and I left you behind
No matter what I do, baby, I can't get you off my mind, said
I fished in a-many ponds, and I've traveled from sea to sea
Well, then I done found out, baby, that you're the one for me
I can't be happy, baby, no matter what I do
Every time I love little darlin', b'lieve I think of you, says
I fished in a-many ponds, and I've traveled from sea to sea
Well, then I done found out, baby, that you're the one for me
I'm lonesome, baby, and blue as I can be
Setting here, wondering do you ever think of me, says
I fished in a-many ponds, and I've traveled from sea to sea
Well, then I done found out, baby, that you're the one for me
I met with a babe that would treat a man very well
I met some babes that would lead a man to hell, said
I fished in a-many ponds, and I've traveled from sea to sea
Well, then I done found out, baby, that you're the one for me
Look for me, babe, on that early morning train
Never be satisfied 'til I see your face again, said
I've fished in a-many ponds, and I've traveled from sea to sea
And I done found out, baby, that you're the one for me
