Leroy Carr — Big Four Blues lyrics

Lyrics

Big Four blowed this morning: at the break of day
And it sounds so lonesome: because it taken my baby away
Big Four Big Four: won’t you please turn your train around
Because here I sit all down and out: with my head hung down
I tried to be as good to that woman: as one man could be
And I mean it’s a shame: the way she went and left poor me
Yes I’m down and out: ain’t got no money to ride no train
But I’m going to find my good gal: and bring her back home again
Please Mr brakeman: won’t you let a poor man ride your blinds
I’m just trying to make it: back to that gal who is worrying my mind
