Here are the lyrics to ray charlesand' andquot;hide nor hairandquot;:
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 ainand't seen hide nor hair my baby since that day
well i ainand't seen hide nor hair my baby since she went away
i remember so well when she slammed the door
but the girl didnand't make it back no more
i ainand'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 didnand'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 ainand't seen hide nor hair my baby since that day
well i ainand't seen hide nor hair my baby since she went away
well i donand't know what happened across the track
but i know my baby didnand't make it back
i ainand'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 hereand's what i got
i got iand'll never see that girl no moand'
but i ainand't seen hide nor hair my baby since that day
well i ainand't seen hide nor hair my baby since she went away
if dr. foster has got her then i know iand'm through
cause heand's got medicine and money too.
i ainand't seen hide nor hair my baby since that day.
whoa no...
