1839 Blues Songtext
von Elmore James

Hey junior, you know I′m a young man You know I ain't seen my baby,since 1839 I gotta find her, whatcha say?

Well I ain′t seen my baby since 1839
Well I ain't seen my baby since 1839
Well if I don't soon find her I′m going to lose my mind


Oh, she went away and left me when the sun was shinin′ bright
Oh, she went away and left me when the sun was shinin' bright
Well I liked the way she was doing I told her everything was alright

Oh, I love my baby and I just can′t keep it hid
Oh, I love my baby and I just can't keep it hid
Oh, if you love me baby, please bring me my spending chain

Oh, I′m going away to leave you baby and I wont be back no more
Oh, I'm going away to leave you baby and I wont be back no more
Yes you know my troubles begin, every time you enter my door
