Here are the lyrics to ray charles' "hide nor hair":
hide nor hair
oh, i was lying in the bed with fever
and i was burning up inside
my baby walked in my bedroom
and i could hardly open my eyes
she said she was going to the pawn shop
just across the track
she started packing some clothes in a hurry
and then she said she would be right back
but i ain't seen hide nor hair my baby since that day
well i ain't seen hide nor hair my baby since she went away
i remember so well when she slammed the door
but the girl didn't make it back no more
i ain't seen hide nor hair my baby since that day
well i waited for her 24 hours
and i was just about to starve to death
it didn't look like she was coming back
so i had to look out for myself
well i called the police department
to find out what they knew
they said, no by heck but we will get her yet
because they were looking for her too.
but i ain't seen hide nor hair my baby since that day
well i ain't seen hide nor hair my baby since she went away
well i don't know what happened across the track
but i know my baby didn't make it back
i ain't seen hide nor hair my baby since that day.
well i called my dr. foster
and when the girl answered the phone
i got a funny feeling
the way she said dr. foster had gone
she said he left with a lady patient
about 24 hours ago
i added two and two and here's what i got
i got i'll never see that girl no mo'
but i ain't seen hide nor hair my baby since that day
well i ain't seen hide nor hair my baby since she went away
if dr. foster has got her then i know i'm through
cause he's got medicine and money too.
i ain't seen hide nor hair my baby since that day.
whoa no...
