Long Ways From Home / Louise Johnson - Charlie Patton

Long Way from Home

Lord I woke up this morning: blues all around my bed

I never had no good man: I mean to ease my worried head

Now now now now now: I cried like a newborn child

Lord even when I was a baby, I wasn’t satisfied

Well I’m going I’m going: daddy to wear you off my mind

Because you keeps me worried baby: and troubled all the time

I said Lord have mercy: I mean Lord have mercy on me

I said Lord have mercy: mercy’s all I need

Lord???: and I fell down on my knees

Well I done cried, cried: Lord have mercy on me
