Lyrics Watch and Pray - Charlie Patton

Watch and Pray

Ain’t going to marry, neither settle down
I’m going to stay right here till they hear this barrelhouse down
And I love you babe and I tell the world I do
And I love you babe and I tell the world I do
I don’t love nobody whole in this round world but you
Ain’t no use of weeping, ain’t no need of crying
Ain’t no use of weeping, ain’t no need of crying
For you’ve got a home just as long as I got mine
Is you ever been lucky, now, woke up cold in hand
Is you ever been lucky, woke up cold in hand
I would call that now nothing but a monkey-man
And I love you baby, you so nice and brown
And I love you baby, you so nice and brown
Because you put it up solid, so it won’t come down
Did you get that letter, now, mailed in your back yard
Did you get that letter, now, mailed in your back yard
It’s a sad word to say, but the best of friend have to part
