Recorded: Feb. 13 1964 home recording
Near Como, Mississippi.
Lord, when you get home, baby
Please write me a few of yo' lines
Lord, when you get home, baby
Sit down and write me a few of yo' lines
Lord, that-a be consolation
Oh, Lord mama, to my worryin' mind
Lord, I left my baby
Standin' in her back door cryin'
Lord, I left my baby
Standin' Lord, in her back door cryin'
Lord, I never felt so sorry, Lo’d
Honey, 'till she said, 'Good-bye'
(guitar)
Lord, I’m goin' down to the river
I’m 'on sit down on the ground
You know, I’m goin' down to the river, baby
I’m 'on sit out on the ground
I’m 'onna let the waves of water
Lord be to wash my trouble down.
(guitar to end)
