Heydid you happen to see my sweet baby?
He was walkin on down the road
Tell him for me that if you see him tonight
Everything is alright
’cause I know how he gets when he’s low
Ohhe’s a beautiful man
Kinda hard to understand but
He’s the only good man that I know
Won’t you tell him for me
I’m keepin a light shinin in the window
Just in case he decides to come home
Shining in the window just in case he decides to come home
(he’s a beautiful mankinda hard to understand)
But he’s the only good man that I know
Won’t you tell him for me? (tell himtell himtell himtell him)
I’m keeping a light (tell himtell himtell himtell him) shining in the window
Just in case he decides to come home (oohah)
