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 (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 (in the name, glory in the name)
(In the name, glory in the name)
Now she said, "Sweet baby, when we gonna meet? (In the name, glory in the name)
(In the name, glory in the name)
I've been gone for such a mighty long time (in the name, glory in the name)
(In the name, glory in the name)
And I just can't get you out of my mind" (in the name, glory in the name)
(In the name, glory in the name)
Ooh, in the name

Oh, oh
Oh, oh

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 (in the name, glory in the name)
(In the name, glory in the name)
Now she said, "Sweet baby, I'm moving on (in the name, glory in the name)
(In the name, glory in the name)
I've been gone for such a mighty long time (in the name, glory in the name)
(In the name, glory in the name)
And I just can't get you out of my mind" (in the name, glory in the name)
(In the name, glory in the name) ooh

Oh, in the name she wrote a letter sweet (in the name, glory in the name)
(In the name, glory in the name)
Now she said, "Sweet baby, when we gonna meet? (In the name, glory in the name)
(In the name, glory in the name)
I've been gone, whoo! A mighty long time (in the name, glory in the name)
(In the name, glory in the name)
And I just can't get you out of my mind" (in the name, glory in the name)
(In the name, glory in the name)
