Write Me a Few Lines

Lord, when you get home, baby

Please write me a few of yo' lines

Lord, when you get home, baby

Sit down and write me a few of yo' lines

Lord, that-a be consolation

Oh Lord, mama to my worryin' mind

Lord, I left my baby

Standin' in her back door, cryin'

Lord, I left my baby

Standin', Lord, in her back door, cryin'

Lord, I never felt so sorry, Lo'd

Honey, till she said goodbye

Lord, I'm goin' down to the river

I'm 'on sit down on the ground

You know I'm goin' down to the river, baby

I'm 'on sit down on the ground

I'm 'onna let the waves of water

Lord, be to wash my trouble down
