Landing Blues - Studio Original

Well, I was down at the landing
When the big boat was passin' by
Well, I was down at the landing
When the big boat was passin' by
Well, I couldn't do a doggone thing that mornin'
Lord, but hang my head and cry

Well, I was standin' there waiting
She was my baby, comin' down
Well, I was standin' there waiting
She was my baby, comin' down
Lord, I couldn't see my baby, mm
Lord, I didn't know what to do

It was so many people standin' there
To welcome they baby home
It was so many people standin' there
To welcome they baby home
Yet poor Slim couldn't see his baby
God knows, get off board

Well, I'm gonna call up, "Is there cargo?"
See is my baby comin' home
I'm gonna call up, "Is there cargo?"
See is my baby comin' home
God knows she told me to meet her that mornin'
And God knows my baby, she couldn't be seen

Yes, I said look at here, baby, mm
God knows is you comin' home
You ain't comin' back to me now, baby, an'
You're out there worryin' me the way you do
