Morning Blues (02-25-48) - Lighnin' Hopkins, Hopkins

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
