Lost Lover Blues - Blind Boy Fuller

Said I went down by that freight depot

And that freight train he come rollin' by

Lord and I sure ain’t got no lovin' baby now

And I sure ain’t got no lovin' baby now

And I went off in that far distant land

I wasn’t there long before I got a telegram

(What did it say?)

Sayin' now man won’t you please come home

Now man won’t you please come home

Then I went back home, I looked on the bed

And that best old friend I had was dead

Lord, and I ain’t got no lovin' baby now

And I ain’t got no lovin' baby now

And I’m sorry, sorry, sorry to my heart

But that best old friend someday must part

Lord I ain’t got no lovin' baby now

And I ain’t got no lovin' baby now

(Play it for me now)

Now as sure as the birds wings in the sky above

Life ain’t worth livin' if you ain’t with the one you love

Lord and I ain’t got no lovin' baby now

Lord I ain’t got no lover now

If I’d knowed you didn’t love me and didn’t want me to

I would’ve taken morphine and died

Lord I ain’t got no lovin' baby now

And I ain’t got no lovin' baby now
