Lord, e'rytime 

I hear that lonesome Sunny Land, blow 

E'ry time 

I hear that lonesome Sunny Land, blow 

Now you know, it make me feel lonesome? 

'What man?' 

Lord, just because I want to go 

'I comin', Sonny Boy.' 

I heared the engineerman blew his whistle 

Now, an the fireman rung his bell 

I heard the engineerman, blew his whistle 

Now and the fireman rung his bell 

Lord, said I hated to tell my baby 

'What man?' 

'Baby, you cry you a well' 

'Let's just stay here, Mr. Sonny Boy, just stay here.'

Now that's all right, but I know 

My baby ain't going to stay, alway 

But that's all right, I know 

My baby ain't going to stay, always 

Now, she will get be-afraid, now an' thinkin' 

'What man?' 

Yank, an comin' runnin' back home, someday 

'I can now.' 

'Boy, if I am blue, now I blow wit' it.' 

(harmonica begins - Sonny Boy) 

Yank: 'Beat it out, boy'. 

(harmonica continues) 

Now, it was a low down fireman 

Man, an really dirty engineer 

It was a low down fireman 

Lord, an a dirty engineer 

'Yes, run off'.' 

Well, they sure did treated me bad 

'Why?' 

They took my baby away from here.
