Darkness, creepin' thru the leaves Jungle fever, got a hold on me Want somebody tell me Where can my baby be? I'm gonna climb me a tree Where I can see Where my baby done gone Then, I'll look up in the sky With tears in my eyes And tell my baby good-bye The lion and the leopard Creepin' thru the gra** The lion and the leopard Creepin' thru the gra** Only Lord above Know how long these hunts gonna last I'm gonna climb me a tree Where I can see Where my baby done gone Then, I'll look up in the sky With tears in my eyes And tell my baby good-bye
