Oh I went down to missing persons told Captain bout you   I told him just what you look like and asked him if anybody help me find you   I told him bout the time you've cheated and how your conscience bothered you   You saw me cryin' and played in sorrow didn't know I've forgiven you   Well all of the people stand then round me seem so blue   The Captain he told me that they were looking for a missing person too   Before he handled my shoulder and said we'll see what we can do   For in the world of missing persons I know your baby is sad as you   [ guitar ]   I cried oh Captain if you can't find her I don't know what I'll do   He looked at me and said we'll try sir to bring your baby back to you   And now I am walking all my shoes out searching each tree an avenue   And until I find you baby I'll be a missing person too   And until I find you baby I'll be a missing person too
