Lost Lover Blues - Blind Boy Fuller
Said I went down by
that freight depot
And that freight train
he come rollin' by
Lord and I sure ain't
got no lovin' baby now
And I sure ain't got
no lovin' baby now
And I went off in that
far distant land
I wasn't there long
before I got a telegram
(What did it say?)
Sayin' now man won't
you please come home
Now man won't you
please come home
Then I went back home,
I looked on the bed
And that best old
friend I had was dead
Lord, and I ain't got
no lovin' baby now
And I ain't got no lovin' baby now
And I'm sorry, sorry,
sorry to my heart
But that best old friend
someday must part
Lord I ain't got no lovin' baby now
And I ain't got no lovin' baby now
(Play it for me now)
Now as sure as the birds
wings in the sky above
Life ain't worth livin' if you
ain't with the one you love
Lord and I ain't got no lovin' baby now
Lord I ain't got no lover now
If I'd knowed you didn't
love me and didn't want me to
I would've taken morphine and died
Lord I ain't got no lovin' baby now
And I ain't got no lovin' baby now
