Tampa Red - Since Baby's Been Gone

To Rate
Now i'm a-sittin' here trying to drink up my blues away
I'm a-sittin' here trying to drink up my blues away
Since my baby been gone i been havin' it night and day

Now the mean old farmer and the cruel old engineer
That mean old farmer and the cruel old engineer
That took babe away and a-left me standin' here

Well i wrote babe a letter but i maybe should have went myself
Well i wrote babe a letter but i maybe should have went myself
For if she don't come back i don't want nobody else

Shine on the big a-bright old moon shine on
Shine on the big a-bright old moon shine on
Just to worry my baby that you'll make her come back home
Hotcha

Now the mailman past but he brought no news today
Now the mailman past but he brought no news today
Well i ain't quite crazy but i guess i'm on my way

Now my friends don't tell me what a darn big old fool i been
Now my friends don't tell me what a darn big old fool i been
Well i may be a fool but i sure won't have it(?) again

Now i'm a-headin' for the river with a brand new rockin' chair
I'm a-headin' for the river with a brand new rockin' chair
And if i don't find babe i'm gonna rockin' on away from here
