I'M MISSING THAT THING
As recorded by Hattie Hart, 1934.

My honey left me 'way last spring.
Ever since then I been a-missin' that thing.
Lord, I'm missin' that thing.
Lord, I'm missin' that thing.
Well, I hate to own it, baby, but I'm missin' that thing.

I miss it in the sunshine; I miss it in the rain.
I miss it so bad it gives me a pain.
Lord, I'm missin' that thing.
Lord, I'm missin' that thing.
Well, I hate to tell it, baby, but I'm missin' that thing.

I miss it in the spring, summer and the fall.
I miss it in the wintertime the worst of all.
Lord, I'm missin' that thing.
Lord, I'm missin' that thing.
Well, I hate to tell you, baby, but I'm missin' that thing.

Oh, I miss it when it's hot; I miss it when it's cold.
I miss it so bad it can't be told.
Lord, I'm missin' that thing.
Lord, I'm missin' that thing.
Well, I hate to tell you, baby, honey, but I'm missin' that thing.

Oh, honey, I'm missin' that thing.
Hear me talkin'; I'm missin' that thing.
Mama's walkin'; I'm missin' that thing.
Hear me cryin'; I'm missin' that thing.
Won't you come home, honey? Honey, I'm missin' that thing.

I miss it when I'm right; I miss it when I'm wrong.
I miss it, sweet baby, all night long.
Lord, I'm missin' that thing.
Lord, I'm missin' that thing.
Don't you hear me talkin'? Baby, I'm missin' that thing.

Doggone it, I'm missin' that thing.
Hear me talkin'; I'm missin' that thing.
Mama cryin'; I'm missin' that thing.
I'm not lyin'; I'm missin' that thing.
Won't you hurry up, daddy? Mama's missin' that thing.
