Big Four Blues Lyrics

Leroy Carr Big Four Blues

Big Four blowed this morning : at the break of day
And it sounds so lonesome : because it taken my baby away

Big Four Big Four : won't you please turn your train
around
Because here I sit all down and out : with my head hung
down

I tried to be as good to that woman : as one man could be
And I mean it's a shame : the way she went and left poor
me

Yes I'm down and out : ain't got no money to ride no
train
But I'm going to find my good gal : and bring her back
home again

Please Mr brakeman : won't you let a poor man ride your
blinds
I'm just trying to make it : back to that gal who is
worrying my mind
