My little woman, my little woman

My little woman, she don`t believe in me

My little woman, my little woman, yeah

My little woman, she don`t believe in me, yeah

Lord, now she left me early this mo`nin`

An` she went down on to Hadley Road



Lord, I believe I`ll go ov`r to the drugsto`, now

Call my baby up ov`r the telephone

I believe I`ll go ov`r to the drugsto`

Call my baby up ov`r the telephone

Now, an` I want you to give me-a central

An` tell me how long has the big boat been gone?



(instrumental, piano & harp)



I was standin` at the landin`

Wonderin` what boat, Lord, boys must I ride?

Lord, I was standin` at the landin`, yeah

Wonderin` what boat, Lord, boys must I ride

I, since I ain`t no hurrin`

I believe I wait `chere, on the Katy flyin`



Once I was down by the landing

When the big boat, Lord, pull of his load

Once I was down by the landing, n`yeah

A-when the big boat, Lord, pull off his load, understand

Lord, as I been-a hurtin` me to my heart n

I was wonderin` where in the world did my baby go, now?
