Mama, Ain’t Long for Day Lyrics by Dave Alvin

Public Domain: Songs From the Wild Land

0

Wake up mama, don't you sleep so hard
Wake up mama, don't you sleep so hard
For it's these old blues walkin' all over your yard
I've got these blues [Incomprehensible] I'm not satisfied
I've got these blues, I'm not satisfied
That's the reason why I stroll away and cry
Blues grabbed me in midnight, they didn't turn me loose till day
Blues grabbed me in midnight, didn't turn me loose till day
I didn't have no mama to drive these blues away
The big star fallin', mama 't ain't long fo' day
The big star fallin', mama 't ain't long fo' day
Incomprehensible sunshine I drive these blues away
Oh, come here quick, come on mama, now I've got you
