Hope Waits — Mother in Law Blues lyrics

Lyrics

It was early in the mornin'
I heard a rooster crow for days
It was early in the mornin'
I heard a rooster crow for days
I looked out my window
And saw my baby walk away
I thought, «Lord, please stop him
Ain’t gonna get drunk no more»
I thought, «Lord, please stop him
Ain’t gonna get drunk no more»
I hollered out my window
«Come back baby please don’t go»
I know he heard me callin'
He looked back and waved his hand
I know he heard me callin'
He looked back and waved his hand
I could hear him tell his momma
«That's one no good woman»
Well, I watched my baby leave
His momma had him by the hand
Well, I watched my baby leave
His momma had him by the hand
I’d give anything I have
Just to see my man again
