| I ain’t got no, special rider here |
| I ain’t got no, no special rider here |
| I ain’t got nobody |
| To love and feel my care |
| (guitar) |
| I woke up this mo’nin |
| Looked at spec-special risin' sun |
| I woke up this mo’nin |
| I looked at special risin' sun |
| Now, I pray up to the good Lord |
| That my special rider, she would come |
| (guitar) |
| I got up off-a my pallet |
| I laid down 'cross my bed |
| I got up off my pallet |
| An I laid down across my bed |
| When I went to eat my break’qast |
| An the blues was all in my bread |
| (guitar) |
| You know, I got a letter |
| How do you reck’in it read? |
| I got a letter |
| An how do you reck’in it read? |
| You better hur' up an come home |
| Because yo' special rider, she’s dead |
| That’s the reason I ain’t |
| Got no special rider |
| Rider, here |
| That’s the reason I ain’t |
| Got no special rider, here |
| Now, I ain’t got nobody |
| To love and feel my care |
| (guitar to end) |
