Write Me a Few Lines

Lord, when you get home, baby

Please write me a few of yo' lines

Lord, when you get home, baby

Sit down and write me a few of yo' lines

Lord, that-a be consolation

Oh, Lord mama, to my worryin' mind

Lord, I left my baby

Standin' in her back door cryin'

Lord, I left my baby

Standin' Lord, in her back door cryin'

Lord, I never felt so sorry, Lo'd

Honey, 'till she said, 'Good-bye'

Lord, I'm goin' down to the river

I'm 'on sit down on the ground

You know, I'm goin' down to the river, baby

I'm 'on sit out on the ground

I'm 'onna let the waves of water

Lord be to wash my trouble down.
