Cowboy Junkies - 32-20 Blues lyrics

rate me

(Robert Johnson)

If I send for my baby and he don't come

If I send for my baby, man, and he don't come

all the doctors in Hot Springs they sure can't help him none

And if he gets unruly, things he don't wanna do

And if he gets unruly and thinks he won't do

I'll take my 32-20, now, and cut him half in two

I'm gonna shoot my pistol, I'm gonna shoot my Gatling gun

Yeah, I'm gonna shoot my pistol, I'm gotta shoot my Gatling gun

You made me love you, now your man have come

Baby, where you stay last night?

Yeah, I said baby, where'd you stayed last night?

'Cause you got the hair all tangled and you ain't talkin' right

Where'd you stayed last night?

He got a .38 Special but I believe it's most too light

He got a .38 Special but I believe it's most too light

I got a 32-20, got to make the camps alright

If I send for my baby, man, and he don't come

If I send for my baby, man, and he don't come

all the doctors in Hot Springs sure can't help her none

Her .38 Special, boys, do it very well

Her .38 Special, boys, it do very well

I got a 32-20 now, and it's a burnin'

If I send for my baby, man, and he don't come

If I send for my baby, man, and he don't come

All the doctors in Wisconsin sure can't help him none

Hey, hey baby, where'd you stay last night?

Hey, hey baby, where'd you stay last night?

You didn't come home until the sun was shining bright

Ah-oh, boy, I just can't take my rest

Ah-oh, boy, I just can't take my rest

With this 32-20 laying up and down my breast
