Lonnie Johnson - Deep Blue Sea Blues (1928) lyrics

I followed my woman, from the station to the train.

I followed my woman, from the station to the train.

Then the blues come down like, midnight showers of rain.

I lef' her at the station, wringin' her hands and cryin'.

I left her at the station, wringin' her hands and cryin'.

I told her she had a home, as long as I've got mine.

Mmm, mmm, mmm, hmm, hmm, hmm.

Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, hmm, hmm.

I told her she had a home, long as I've got mine.

You can sail that ocean, go across the deep blue sea.

You can sail that ocean, go across that deep blue sea.

But you cannot find another man like me.

I'm goin' to Berry, goinna sign my ‘nitials down.

I'm goin' to Berry, goinna sign my ‘nitial down.

‘Cept these women don't like me, these men don't want me aroun'.
