In The Name

In the name she brought a little joy

She told me I was the baby boy

She said that she would never leave

Oh Lord, have mercy on me

In the name she called me on the telephone

She said, "Sweet baby, I'm coming home

I've been gone for such a mighty long time

And I just can't get you out of my mind"

Oh, in the name she wrote me a letter sweet

Now she said, "Sweet baby, when we gonna meet?

I've been gone for such a mighty long time

And I just can't get you out of my mind"

Oh, in the name

In the name she brought me a little joy

Now she told me I was the baby boy, yes she did, y'all

Now she said that she would never leave me, yes she did, honey

Oh Lord, have mercy on poor me, uh-huh

Now in the name she called me on the telephone

Now she said, "Sweet baby, I'm moving on

I've been gone for such a mighty long time

And I just can't get you out of my mind"

In the name she wrote a letter sweet

Now she said, "Sweet baby, when we gonna meet?

I've been gone, a mighty long time

And I just can't get you out of my mind"
