Muddy Waters - Atomic Bomb Blues lyrics

rate me

It was early one morning, when all the good work was done

It was early one morning, when all the good work was done

And that big bird was loaded, with that awful atomic bomb

Wrote my baby, I was behind the risin' sun

Wrote my baby, I was behind the risin' sun

I told her, don't be uneasy, because I'm behind the

atomic bomb

Nation after nation, was near and far away

Nation after nation, was near and far away

Well, they soon got the news, and there where they would

stay

Over in east Japan, you know, they let down and cried

Over in east Japan, you know, they let down and cried

And poor Tojo, had to find a place to hide
