This is what I've got. English is my second language. Any proofreading will be welcome.

Come home this morning and found my baby gone (repeat)
???????? go bed but I can't stay here alone.

Got to find my baby and see what ????? to say (repeat)
?????????? to treat me ?????????? a way.

I ain't even worry that I know she is not goin' to stay
Well I'll tell her how I love her that's all I have to say

solo

When I found my babe I was ??? right down on the street (repeat)
I know she was so sorry to know what she've done on me.

My transcription from the recording at YouTube:


I FOUND MY BABY
Jimmy Reed

1. Come home this morning, found my baby gone. (2x)
Well, [it hurts me so bad]* but I can't stay here alone.

2. Got to find my baby and see what she have to say. (2x)
[It hurts me so bad]* to treat me this-a-way.

3. I ain't even worried. I know she's not gonna stay. (2x)
When I'll tell her how I love her, that's all I have to say.

[Solo]

4. When I found my baby we set right down on the street. (2x)
I know she was so sorry, didn't know what she done to me.


[* "It hurts me so bad"—I don't think this is right but at least it gives you something you can sing that will make sense.]
