My darlin' left me, didn't even tell me the reason why 
Whoa, you packed up an' left me 
Didn't even tell me the reason why 
Whoa, if I didn't please you baby 
Ain't because I didn't try 
Well it was long about midnight, when I heard that old lonesome Cannonball 
Well it was long about midnight, when I heard that old lonesome Cannonball 
Well when I think about you baby, tears begin to fall 
(Woo woo woo woo woo woo) 
(Woo woo woo woo woo woo) 
(Woo woo woo woo woo woo) 
I've gotta find you baby, if it takes my whole life to track you down 
I've gotta find you baby, if it takes my whole life to track you down 
Well if I don't find you by plane, I'm gonna use my old bloodhound 
(Woo woo woo woo woo woo)
