Lyrics
Chorus
Oh my gingerbread is gone away and I don't know if he's comin back again
He could have said goodbye, he could have let me know, but now I'm all alone and he ain't in
Bridge
If he's just forgot to come back home to me
tell him if you see him I'm still here
Don't let on I'm anxious just forget the past, don't tell him how I'm drownin in my tears
Repeat chorus
Bridge
We never had a child to tie his hand to mine, and I was just a little overdue.
so let the scartlet circles turn my thoughts to wine
my baby wouldn't even say we're through.
