If you like this song, check out Ivory Joe Hunter's "I Almost Lost My Mind," which is a similar structure, but an even better song.

When I lost my baby, I almost lost my mind (2x) My head is in a spin, since she left me behind

I went to see the gypsy, and had my fortune read (2x) I hung my head and cried, when she said what she said

Well I can tell you people, the news was not so good (2x) She said your baby's left you, this time she's gone for good.

I think there's one more verse...can't remember it offhand.
