Blind Boy Fuller - Lost Lover Blues Lyrics

Said I went down by that freight depot
And that freight train he come rollin' by
Lord and I sure ain't got no lovin' baby now
And I sure ain't got no lovin' baby now

And I went off in that far distant land
I wasn't there long before I got a telegram
(What did it say?)
Sayin' now man won't you please come home
Now man won't you please come home

Then I went back home, I looked on the bed
And that best old friend I had was dead
Lord, and I ain't got no lovin' baby now
And I ain't got no lovin' baby now

And I'm sorry, sorry, sorry to my heart
But that best old friend someday must part
Lord I ain't got no lovin' baby now
And I ain't got no lovin' baby now
(Play it for me now)

Now as sure as the birds wings in the sky above
Life ain't worth livin' if you ain't with the one you love
Lord and I ain't got no lovin' baby now
Lord I ain't got no lover now

If I'd knowed you didn't love me and didn't want me to
I would've taken morphine and died
Lord I ain't got no lovin' baby now
And I ain't got no lovin' baby now
