Broke Down Engine Blues Lyrics by Blind Willie McTell

Ultimate Blues Collection

0

Feel like a broke down engine, ain't got no drivin' wheel
Feel like a broke down engine, Mama, ain't got no drivin' wheel
You all been down and lonesome, you know how a poor man feels
I been shooting craps and gambling, Mama, and I done got broke
I been shooting craps and gambling, Honey, and I done got broke
I done pawned my pistol, Mama, my best clothes been sold
Lordy, Lord, Lordy, Lord, Lordy, Lord, Lordy, Lord
Lordy, Lordy, Lord
I went down in my praying ground and fell on bended knees
I went down in my praying ground and fell on bended knees
I ain't crying for no religion, Lordy, give me back my good girl please
If you give me back my baby, I won't worry you no more
If you give me my baby, I won't worry you no more
You anit got to put her in my house, Lordy, only lead her to my door
Lordy, Lord, Lordy, Lord, Lordy, Lord, Lordy, Lord
Lordy, Lordy, Lord
Don't you hear me, Baby, rappin' on your door?
Don't you hear your daddy, rappin' on your door?
Now you hear me tappin', tappin' across your floor
Feel like a broke down engine, ain't got no drivers at all
Feel like a broke down engine, Mama, ain't got no drive at all
What makes me love my woman? She can really do the
Georgia crawl
Lordy, Lord, Lordy, Lord, Lordy, Lord, Lord
Lordy, Lordy, Lord
Feel like a broke down engine, ain't got no whistle or bell
Feel like a broke down engine, ain't got no whistle or bell
If you's a real hot mama, drive away daddy's weeping spell
And I won't be back no more, Baby
