[Verse 1] Mr police captain listen to my plea Mr police captain listen to my plea I want to make my baby come back home to me [Verse 2] Give me a search warrant and a great big hound Give me a search warrant and a great big hound I'm going to find my baby if I have to track her down [Verse 3] I know where she's at but her man won't let me in I know where she's at but her man won't let me in All I want is a search warrant and a bottle of gin [Verse 4] I'm going to get running drunk and go into that place I'm going to get running drunk and go into that place And that backbiting man better not show his face [Verse 5] I love my baby but she treat me so unkind I love my baby but she treat me so unkind If she thinks she can quit me she really have lost her mind
