Muddy Waters - Forty Days And Forty Nights lyrics

rate me

(Bernie Roth)

Forty days and forty nights

Since my baby left this town

Sunshinin' all day long

But the rain keep comin' down

She's my life I need her so

Why she left I just don't know

Forty days and forty nights

Since I set right down and cried

Keep rainin' all the time

But the river is runnin' dry

Lord help me it just ain't right

I love that girl with all-a my might

Forty days and forty nights

Since my baby broke my heart

Searchin' for her in a while

Like a blind man in the dark

Love can make a poor man rich

Or break his heart I don't know which

Forty days and forty nights

Like a ship out on the sea

Prayin' for her each night

That she would come back-a home to me

Life is love and love is right

I hope she come back home tonight
