Lyrics 40 Days and 40 Nights - Muddy Waters

40 Days and 40 Nights

40 Days, and 40 nights
Since my baby left the town
Keep raining all day long
And it’ll rain for 40 more
She’s my life, I need her so
Why she left I just don’t know
40 Days, and 40 nights
Since I sat right down and cried
Keep raining all the time
But the river is running dry
Lord help me, it just ain’t right
I love that girl with all my heart
40 Days, and 40 nights
Since my baby broke my heart
Searchin' for her everywhere
Like a blind man in the dark
Girl can make a poor man rich
Break her heart, I don’t know which
I’m not rich, I’m heartbroken
40 Days, and 40 nights
Like a ship out on the sea
Break my heart every day
that my baby won’t come back to me
Lord gave love and love is right
I hope she come back home tonight
