Forty Days & Forty Nights Songtext
von Muddy Waters

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
