John Lee Hooker — Wednesday Evening Blues lyrics

Lyrics

She left me that Wednesday evenin'
She left me on my bended knee
She left me that Wednesday evenin'
She left me on my bended knee
I was beggin' my baby, baby please don’t go
It was that Wednesday
When the storm was sinkin' low
You know it was that Wednesday, evenin'
When the storm was sinkin' low
My baby packed her clothes
Yes, I got to leave now
I said, Lord have mercy
Help me in my wicked way
Lord, have mercy
Help me in my wicked ways
Send my baby back to me
Send my baby on back to me
