I'm tore down, I'm almost level with the ground.
I'm tore down, I'm almost level with the ground.
Well, I feel like this when my baby can't be found.

I went to the river to jump in.
My baby came around and said, "I will tell you when."
I'm tore down, I'm almost level with the ground.
Well, I feel like this when my baby can't be found.

I love you baby with my heart and soul;
A love like ours could never grow old.
Love you in the morning and in the evening too.
But how am I to know that your love is true?
I'm tore down, I'm almost level with the ground.
Well, I feel like this when my baby can't be found.

I'm tore down, I'm almost level with the ground.
I'm tore down, I'm almost level with the ground.
Well, I feel like this when my baby can't be found.

I love you baby with all my might;
A love like ours is out of sight.
I'd lie for you if you want me to.
But I really don't believe that your love is true.
I'm tore down, I'm almost level with the ground.
Well, I feel like this when my baby can't be found.

I'm tore down, I'm almost level with the ground.
Well, I'm tore down, I'm almost level with the ground.
Well, I feel like this when my baby can't be found.
