Big Bed Blues Songtext
von Blind Boy Fuller

My baby going to leave me
I′ll have a big bed by myself
My baby going to leave me
Have a big bed by myself
Just like I learned to love her
I will learn to love me someone else

I want whiskey when I'm thirsty, mama
Oh Lord, lightning when I′m dry
I want whiskey when I'm thirsty
Give me lightning when I'm dry
I want some woman to love me while I′m living
And heaven when I die


My baby said she gonna leave me
She′ll need my help again
My baby going to leave me
She will need my help again
She must remember
Oh Lord, I once have been a friend

I hate to hear that even old whistle blow blues
I hate to hear, mama, that even old whistle blow blues
Why, boy?
'Cause every time I hear it
Make me feel like riding too

Lord, I went to the station
I sure didn′t see no train
I went to the station, mama
And I didn't see no train
I never seen my little woman
Oh Lord, no one to call her name
