| 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 |
