Love Me Baby Blues
Kelly Joe Phelps · Lead Me On [1994]
Like showers of rain
Can't you hear my fair girl
Call my name
Can't you hear my fair girl call my name?
She calls so loud, it's so plain
I walked on down to the station
Had tears falling down
Got some news this morning
My baby, she left town;
She gone away
I got some bad news, man
My baby left town
She took my money
She got my clothes
Rolling down the road now baby
Why, the Lord knows
I know your going down the road
But I wonder why you go
Come on back, won't you love me again
Well my rooster crows in anger
You can hear him down in France
Why won't the other guy
Allow me no chance? No chance?
Why won't that guy allow me one more chance?
Treat me dirty
You treat me mean
I know baby you done me pain
Won't you come back home and
Love me again?
Come back home, why won't you love me again?
Come back home, why won't you love me again?
Love me again? Love me again?
