My Baby She Left Me lyrics

My Baby She Left Me
(She Left Me a Mule to Ride)
by Sonny Boy Williamson
performed by Junior Wells and Buddy Guy


When my baby she left me. She left me with a mule to ride
When my baby she left me. She left me with a mule to ride
When her train left the station that old mule laid down and died

Man I sent this woman a brand new twenty dollar bill
Lord I sent that woman a brand new twenty dollar bill
Now if that don`t bring her back, I`m sure this old shotgun will

Lake Michigan ain`t no river, Chicago ain`t no hill town
Lake Michigan ain`t no river, Chicago ain`t no hill town
If I feel like this tomorrow I`m gonna clear out be back down Memphis bound

[harp solo x2]

I`ll be standing down on the landing when the big boat pull off and roll
I`ll be standing on the landing when the big boat pull off and roll
I`ll be hopin I`ll be prayin I don`t see your face no more

When my baby she left me. She left me with a mule to ride
When my baby she left me. She left me with a mule to ride
When her train left the station that old mule laid down and died

Lord I sent this woman a brand new twenty dollar bill
Man I sent my baby a brand new twenty dollar bill
Now if that don`t bring her back, I`m sure my shotgun will

[harp solo to end]
