Checkin' Up On My Baby

(album: Taj Mahal - 1968)

Checking up on my baby
To find out what she been putting down
Checking up on my baby
Find out what she been putting down
So many nights and days
A-since I been, last been in this town

I had me a little job
Playing down a way
Yes, I had me a little job
I was playing down a way
Well, you know I wasn't feeling too good
Well, I wanted to hear something my baby say

Well, you know I didn't even call her, I didn't even write
No, I didn't send her a telegram
No, I didn't even call her, I didn't even write
And I didn't send her a telegram
Yes, you know my baby
She didn't know just where I was

I'm checking up on my baby
To find out what's going down
Checking up on my baby
To find out what's going on down
Ah, so many nights and days
Since I left, ah, your town

Nah, listen here now

I'm checking up on my baby
Find out what she been putting down
Checking up on my baby
Find out what she been putting down
So many nights and days
Mmm, I been away from her 'n' her town

I'm working down the road
I didn't know if things was going right
Oh, I'm working down the road
Down the coast, I didn't things was working right
So, you know I took a train
And come back to my baby that night
Checking up on her
