You know I went down to my baby's house, fell down on my knees, |
|
crying please, please help poor me, help old me |
|
She said, "Lightnin' I wished I was rich and you were poor" |
|
The meals that you've been getting, I will see that you never get them no more |
|
She's talking to me and I'm down on bended knee |
|
Somebody help me, help me, please |
|
You know I went to my house, wasn't nobody there but me |
|
That was trouble, that was worry, Lord, Lord, like the whole world would see |
|
Somebody please help me, I've been wondering about my fate |
|
Her little smiling, baby, I can't see |
|
Well I'm about to make it up in my mind to let her go ahead on |
|
Baby, you go have a good time, while I walk my floor and moan |
|
You may not miss me now, but you're gonna miss me when I'm gone |
|
Well I just can't do nothing but cry, I just got to walk my floor and moan |
