Searching the Desert for the Blues - Blind Willie McTell

You may search the ocean you might go 'cross the deep blue sea

But Mama you'll never find another hot shot like me

I followed my baby from the station to the train

And the blues came down like night and showered me

I left her at the station wringing her hands and crying

I told her she had a home just as long as I had mine

I've got two women and you can't tell them apart

I've got one in my bossom the otherone I got in my heart

The one in my bossom she's in Tennessee

And the one in my heart don't even give a darn for me

I used to say a married woman was the sweetest thing that ever been born

But I've changed that thing you better leave married women alone

Take my advice: let these married women be

'Cause their husbands'll grab you beat you ragged as a cedar tree

When a woman say she love you 'bout good as she do herself

I don't pay her no attention tell that same line to somebody else

I really don't believe no woman in the whole round world do right

Act like an angel in the daytime mess by the ditch at night

I'm going pretty mama please don't break this rule;

That's why I'm searching these deserts for the blues

I'm going pretty mama searching these deserts now

That's why I'm walking my baby home anyhow

Lord oh Lord

Lordy Lordy Lord

Oh Lordy Lord

Lord Lord Lord

When a woman say she love you 'bout good as she do herself

I don't pay her no attention tell that same line to somebody else

Lord Lord

Lord Lord Lord
