When You Left Me - Original - Jimmy Reed

Well, I bought you, I thought ya want a Rocket 88

You say ya gotta be a speed 'em, now don’t, make ya late

Then you left me, left me out in the cold

Then the last time I saw you, you were headin' back down the road

Well ya stepped on the starter, built up some steam

Ya said, «If I ever see ya baby, that’ll be in my dreams»

Then ya left me here, left me out in the cold

Then the last time I saw ya, you were headin' back down the road

(I hear you)

Well, ya don’t have ta tell me that I ain’t no fool

Ya learned something down there, you didn’t learn in school

Well ya left me, ya left me out in the cold

Then the last time I saw ya, you were headin' back down the road

Well ya got out now, and you want to come back

I don’t want ya baby, that’s a natural fact

Oh ya left me, ya left me out in the cold

And the last time I saw you, you were headin' back down the road
