Furry Lewis Why Don't You Come Home Lyrics

Sarah Lee : why don't you come home
I ain't had no loving : gal since you been gone

My mama told me : when I was a child
Good time now : trouble after a while

If I had a‑listened : to what my mother said
I wouldn't be in here : treated this a‑way

I'd rather see my coffin : roll in front of my door
Than to hear my good gal : say I don't want you no more I dreamt last night : the world was caving in
Wasn't nothing at all : my girl coming home again

I feel like jumping : from the treetop to the ground
The girl I love : she sure done put me down

I wished I had a‑died : babe when I was young
I would not have : this *here red suit on*
