[Verse 1]
Have you seen my baby on the avenue?
You know she's driving me crazy
With the funny things she do
I seen her with the milkman
Riding down the street
When you're through with my baby, milkman
Send her home to me

[Chorus]
Hold on, hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on, hold on
You know it's been so long
Since she has been gone
Hold on, hold on, hold on

[Verse 2]
I seen her with the gypsies, dancing in the woods
She's always been unfaithful to me
She's never been good
I said, "please, don't talk to strangers, baby."
But she always do
She said, I will talk to strangers if I want to
Because I'm a stranger too."

[Chorus][x2]

Ringo Starr

Best known as the drummer for The Beatles, Ringo Starr (born Richard Starkey, 1940) also had a moderately successful solo career (with hits like “It Don’t Come Easy” and “Photograph”) and was the narrator for Thomas The Tank Engine.

His country-infused nickname emerged from a tendency to wear rings on his fingers.
