Special Rider Blues - Shearwater

I ain’t got no, special rider here

I ain’t got no, no special rider here

I ain’t got nobody

To love and feel my care

I woke up this mo’nin

Looked at spec-special risin' sun

I woke up this mo’nin

I looked at special risin' sun

Now, I pray up to the good Lord

That my special rider, she would come

I got up off-a my pallet

I laid down 'cross my bed

I got up off my pallet

An I laid down across my bed

When I went to eat my breakfast

An the blues was all in my bread

You know, I got a letter

How do you reck’in it read?

I got a letter

An how…

I ain’t got no, special rider here

I ain’t got no, no special rider here

I ain’t got nobody

To love and feel my care
