I was sittin' down this mornin'
Wonderin' from side to side
Tryin' to get in touch with my baby
Boy, the blues, boy, they're bad
Oh, I'm sittin' here waitin'
ย
For her to call me up on the phone
ย
She been gone twenty-four hours
And that's twenty-three hours too long
You know I was so doggone disgusted
I couldn't even get out of my bed
Went to eat my breakfast the next mornin'
The blues started walkin' all over my bread
Oh, I'm sittin' here waitin'
For her to call me up on the phone
ย
The little girl, she been gone twenty-four hours
And that's twenty-three hours too long
ย
You know I was so sad
I tell her I come damn near wanna cry
'Cause I thought she done left me
ย
You know the reason why
ย
She been gone so long
Inside of me, it's sickly, I done died
ย
I sent her special deliver
I sent her a telegram
Then I called her long-distance
I want her to know just where I am
It was so sad, so lonesome
So much wrong, I said gone
ย
She been gone twenty-four hours
But that's twenty-three hours too long
ย
Alright, alright
Lord have mercy
Somebody better come here, I expect
ย
She been gone twenty-four hours
And that's twenty-three hours too long
