Lonesome Man Blues

Baby, how long, baby, how long, gon' be 'fore you bring your clothes back home?
Said, well, it won't be no longer if you quit doin' me wrong

Hey, red cap porter, did my best woman ever get on board?
Said, I don't know the clothes she's had on

Just as sure as a bluebird flies in the skies above
Sayin', your life's ain't no pleasure lest you're with the one you love

Sayin' if I just had wings, then I'd fly just like Noah's dove
Then I would h'ist my wings and fly and light on that woman I love

Well, I went up on a mountain, taken a peep in that old deep blue sea
I's tryin' to find that woman put the jinx on me

Baby, now hey, how long, baby, you gonna still do me wrong
Baby, how long is you gon' treat me wrong

Says, when I woked up this mornin', just about the dawn o' day
Some man had my woman and the worried blues had me
