Landing Blues Lyrics - John Lee Hooker

Well I was down at the Landing, when the big boat was passing by 

Well I was down at the Landing, when that big boat was passing by 

Well I couldn't do a dog-gone thing this morning, Lord but hang my head and cry 

Well I was standing there watin', she was my baby coming down 

Well I was standing there waitin', she was my baby coming down 

Lord I couldn't see my baby, Lord I didn't know what to do 

There was so many people, standing there to welcome their baby home 

There was so many people, standing there to welcome their baby home 

This poor man couldn't see his baby, God knows it her fault 

Well I'm gonna call up in Chicago see if my baby comin' home 

I'm gonna call up in Chicago, see if my baby comin' home 

God knows she told me to meet her that morning, and God knows my baby she couldn't be seen
