Springtime Blues - John Lee "Sonny Boy" Williamson

Now, baby but I’ll see you

Baby, in the spring

Just after the bluebird begin to sing

A-but sail on

Yes, sail on

Oh my little baby, sail on

Now, but maybe I won’t see you

Baby, until in the fall

An I know you won’t have no

Real reg’lar man, at all

Oh, but sail on

Yes, sail on

A-my little baby, sail on

Now, but I b’lieve I’ll wait an see you

Baby, some ol' rainy day

Just after the mock’inbird

Come out to play

A-but sail on now

Yes, sail on

Oh my little baby, sail on

Now you gon' keep on

Baby you know, foolin' round

A-you know the police

Is gonna run you clean outta town

A-now but sail on

Yes, sail on

A-my little baby, sail on

Now tell me, baby

What do you want me to do?

I did ev’rything I could, baby

To try to get along wit’ch you

A-now but sail on now

Yes, sail on

My little baby, sail on

Go bring my shotgun

My pistols and shells

You know my woman, she done quit me

An I’m gonna start to raise

(You know what I mean, man!)

A-but, sail on

Yes, sail on

A-my little baby, sail on.
