Joe Purdy - Sinkin' Low lyrics
[Joe Purdy - Sinkin' Low lyrics]
I've been sinkin' low, I can't find my baby
I've been sinkin' low, I can't find my baby
I've been high and low
Faces of these stone walls
Don't know where she goes
But I know that she's gone
Her skin is dark and softer than a baby's
When she sings to me her
Voice is sweet as candy
Her lips are rose red
As sweet as cheery wine
Her eyes are green and blue
They can't make up their mind
I've been sinkin' low, I can't find my baby
I've been sinkin' low, I can't find my baby
I've been high and low
Faces of these stone walls
Don't know where she goes
But I know that she's gone
Went down to the station
I thought that I would find you
With your suit case on the ground, I
Knew I was right behind you, yeah
As the train doors closed I
Saw you through the window
You watched me as I waved
The train took you away
I've been sinkin' low, I can't find my baby
I've been sinkin' low, I can't find my baby
I've been high and low
Faces of these stone walls
Don't know where she goes
But I know that she's gone
I know that she's gone
I saw that building burned down
When I got to your front lawn
I thought that you'd be here, yeah
But you'd already gone
I went down to the river
You hid under the water
And then you held your breath, yeah
And then you disappeared
I've been sinkin' low, I can't find my baby
I've been sinkin' low, I can't find my baby
I've been high and low
Faces of these stone walls
Don't know where she goes
I don't know where she goes
I've been sinkin' low, I can't find my baby
I've been high and low
Faces of these stone walls
Don't know where she goes
But I know that she's gone
Her skin is dark and softer than a baby's
When she sings to me her
Voice is sweet as candy
Her lips are rose red
As sweet as cheery wine
Her eyes are green and blue
They can't make up their mind
I've been sinkin' low, I can't find my baby
I've been sinkin' low, I can't find my baby
I've been high and low
Faces of these stone walls
Don't know where she goes
But I know that she's gone
Went down to the station
I thought that I would find you
With your suit case on the ground, I
Knew I was right behind you, yeah
As the train doors closed I
Saw you through the window
You watched me as I waved
The train took you away
I've been sinkin' low, I can't find my baby
I've been sinkin' low, I can't find my baby
I've been high and low
Faces of these stone walls
Don't know where she goes
But I know that she's gone
I know that she's gone
I saw that building burned down
When I got to your front lawn
I thought that you'd be here, yeah
But you'd already gone
I went down to the river
You hid under the water
And then you held your breath, yeah
And then you disappeared
I've been sinkin' low, I can't find my baby
I've been sinkin' low, I can't find my baby
I've been high and low
Faces of these stone walls
Don't know where she goes
I don't know where she goes
