Helpless Blues

When my baby she left me, God knows
She left me by myself
When my baby she left me, God knows
She left me by myself
God knows it hurts me so bad, but I just couldn't help myself
Well, that's alright, baby, maybe you will come back home someday
That's alright, baby, maybe, you will come back home someday
God knows a good kind of treatment
God knows he will bring you back, yeah

When my baby she left me
She didn't have no need to go
When my baby she left me
She didn't have no need to go
She wouldn't let me be, she wanted to be out in the wicked world
Since my baby she been gone
I don't want nobody else
No, I don't, Slim
No, I don't

Since my baby been gone
God knows I don't want nobody else
You know firstly I can't eat at night
God knows I can't be satisfied
Lord, I wonder, wonder where did my baby go?
Lord, I wonder
Wonder where did my baby go
She ride that 'Frisco
The day she ride that cannonball

Well, I wrote my baby a letter
I'm saying, "Come home back to me"
Wrote my baby a letter, saying, "Come home back to me"
Did things wrong, now baby
God knows I won't do that no more
