Blind Boy Fuller Weepin` Willow Blues Lyrics

Weepin` Willow Blues Lyrics

Lord, that weepin' willow and that mournin' dove 

 That weepin' willow and that mournin' dove 

 I got a gal up the country, Lord, you know I sure do love 

  

 Now, if you see my woman, tell her I says hurry home 

 (spoken: Aw, sho') 

 You see my woman, tell her I says hurry home 

 I ain't had no lovin' since my gal been gone 

  

 Where it 'tain't no love, ain't no gettin' along 

 Where it ain't no love, mama, ain't no gettin' along 

 My gal treat me so mean and dirty, sometime I don't know right from wrong 

  

 Lord, I lied down last night, tried to take my rest 

 I lied down last night, tried to take my rest 

 (spoken: What happened, boy?) 

 You know, my mind got to ramblin' just like wild geese in the west 

  

 Gonna buy me a bulldog1, watch whilst I sleep 

 Gonna buy me a bulldog, watch whilst I sleep 

 Just to keep these men from makin' this early mornin' creep 

  

 Now, if you see my woman, tell her I says hurry home 

 You see my woman, tell her I says hurry home 

 I ain't had no lovin' since my gal been gone 

  

 You gonna want my love, baby, some lonesome day 

 (spoken: Yeah!) 

 You gonna want my love, mama, some old lonesome day 

 Then it be too late, I'll be gone too far away
