Chain Gang Blues-Lightnin' 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
