Please Help Me - Lonnie Johnson, Otis Spann

Well it’s pourin' down rain, and my baby 's nowhere 'round

Yes, it’s pourin' down rain, and my baby 's nowhere 'round

Yes, I guess she 's with her other lover, he live away from the storm

Please help me, please help me to find my way

Please help me, help me to find my way

I dream all night, and I cry all through the day

Mmm, please have mercy on me

Mmm, please have mercy on me

My poor heart is broken, I’m lonesome as a man can be

My baby 's gone, and won’t be back no more

My baby 's gone, and won’t be back no more

Please help me to find my baby, no matter where she goes

Mmm, mmm

Please help me, I can’t go this way

I dream all night, and I cry all through the day

Lord, please have mercy on me

Lord, please have mercy on me

If you can’t find my lover, send back my «used ta be.»
