Lord, when you get home, baby, please write me a few of your lines
Lord, when you get home, baby, sit down and write me a few of your lines
Lord, that'd be consolation, Lord mama, to my worried mind

Lord, I left my baby, standing in our back door cryin'
Lord, I left my baby, standing alone in our back door cryin'
Lord, I never felt so sorry no, honey, till she said goodbye

Lord, I'm going down to the river, I'm gonna sit on the ground
You know, I'm going down to the river, baby, I'm gonna sit on the ground
I'm gonna let the waves of water, Lord, wash my troubles down
