My baby got mad, went back to her rez
Hay ya hay hay ya
Please don’t leave, on my knees I begged
Hay ya hay hay ya
I miss her eyes, I miss her legs
Hay ya hay hay ya
I even miss her powdered eggs
Hay ya hay hay ya
Ya hey yo, hey hey ya
Hey ya hey, hey ya
Ya hey ya, hey hey ya
O, hey yo, hey hey ya
Yes, now I’ve lost that girl of mine
Hay ya hay hay ya
The one I met at the forty-nine
Hay ya hay hay ya
Beneath the moon at Mohawk Park
Hay ya hay hay ya
Our first kiss was there in the dark
Hay ya hay hay ya
Ya hey yo, hey hey ya
Hey ya hey, hey ya
Ya hey ya, hey hey ya
O, hey yo, hey hey ya
I used to take her to Wal-Mart
Hay ya hay hay ya
I even pushed her shopping cart
Hay ya hay hay ya
But now she’s gone and broken my heart
Hay ya hay hay ya
I’d go after her but my car won’t start
Hay ya hay hay ya
Ya hey yo, hey hey ya
Hey ya hey, hey ya
Ya hey ya, hey hey ya
O, hey yo, hey hey ya
When she was still in love with me
Hay ya hay hay ya
I took her to the Dollar Tree
Hay ya hay hay ya
But while I was inside Save-A-Lot
Hay ya hay hay ya
She disappeared in the parking lot
Hay ya hay hay ya
Ya hey yo, hey hey ya
Hey ya hey, hey ya
Ya hey ya, hey hey ya
O, hey yo, hey hey ya
I miss her hair and her soft skin
Hay ya hay hay ya
Her big dark eyes and her big grin
Hay ya hay hay ya
Her voice behind mine at the nine
Hay ya hay hay ya
The pretty girl that I called mine
Hay ya hay hay ya
Ya hey yo, hey hey ya
Hey ya hey, hey ya
Ya hey ya, hey hey ya
O, hey yo, hey hey ya
