Lyrics Shotgun Blues - Junior Wells

Shotgun Blues

When my baby she left me
She left me with a mule to ride
When my baby she left me
She left me with a mule to ride
Lord when her train left the station
That old mule laid down and died
Man, I sent this woman
A brand new twenty dollar bill
Lord, I sent that woman
A brand new twenty dollar bill
Man, if that don’t bring her back
I’m sure this old shotgun will
Standing down on the landing
When that big boat pull off and roll
Standing down on the landing
When that big boat pull off and roll
Lord I just held up my hand because I know I wont see that little girl no more.
I sent my baby
A brand new twenty dollar bill
Boys, I sent that little girl
A brand new twenty dollar bill
Lord if that don’t bring her back
I’m sure my shotgun will.
Down that road I git to go.
