It's not exactly hide-and-seek
  But here's the game that I must play
  I don't wish to participate
  But in this matter I've no say
  You see some rich guy took my baby
  And he blinded her with diamond rings
  Now the pain such that my heart stings
  If only I had been much kinder
  Did the very best I could
  I do not have a lot of money
  This I thought she understood
  I know the young girls can be led away
  By pretty things and pet desires
  Now I must go and bring her back
  And quench this newly kindled fire
  Well I'm down to my last dollar
  But I'm gonna find her anyway
  I thought I saw her goin' east
  While headin' west yesterday
  Perhaps she's come back to her senses
  And decided to come back to stay
  Now I must go and bring her back
  If it takes until my dyin' day
  Bring her back
  Bring her back
  Bring her back
  Bring her back
  Bring her back
  Bring her back
  Now I must go and bring her back
  If it takes until my dyin' day
  Now I must go and bring her back
  If it takes until my dyin' day
