Albert King Roadhouse Blues Lyrics

Roadhouse Blues Lyrics

The moon is risin', an' it done got lonesome here

I said, the moon is
risin', baby, an' it done got lonesome, here

Although you're a long ways
from me

But baby, I wish you were near



If I ever get lucky
yeah, an' win my train fare home

Well, if I ever get lucky buddy, an' win
my train fare home

Oh, the moment that I do, darlin'

You can say
your man is comin' home, yeah



It's so hard, tryin' to make it all
by yourself, yeah

I say, it's so hard, yeah yeah, tryin' to make it all
by yourself, yeah

Oh an' the woman that you're really lovin'

She
done gone off with someone else, um!



There's no use ta cryin',
oh

'Cause your cryin' won't help you none, woo!

Hey, I said it's no
use ta cryin', buddy

Because your cryin' won't help you none

You'll
fall in love again

An' she'll keep you always on the run, yeah



I say, if I ever get lucky (yeah, that's my son!)

An' win my train fare
home, ooo Lordy

Have you ever felt like that?

Oh, if I ever get
lucky, buddy yeah

An' win my train fare home, yeah yeah

Oh, the day
that I do, angel

You can bet your life, old Albert is gone, yeah



Oh when ya see me comin', baby yeah

I want ya to raise your
window high, woo!

Hey, when ya see me comin' home, babe

I want ya
to raise your window high, yeah yeah

But when I turn an' leave little
girl

I want you to hang your head an' cry

Woo, Lord have mercy!



Lord have mercy!
