Watch and Pray - Charlie Patton

Ain’t going to marry, neither settle down

I’m going to stay right here till they hear this barrelhouse down

And I love you babe and I tell the world I do

And I love you babe and I tell the world I do

I don’t love nobody whole in this round world but you

Ain’t no use of weeping, ain’t no need of crying

Ain’t no use of weeping, ain’t no need of crying

For you’ve got a home just as long as I got mine

Is you ever been lucky, now, woke up cold in hand

Is you ever been lucky, woke up cold in hand

I would call that now nothing but a monkey-man

And I love you baby, you so nice and brown

And I love you baby, you so nice and brown

Because you put it up solid, so it won’t come down

Did you get that letter, now, mailed in your back yard

Did you get that letter, now, mailed in your back yard

It’s a sad word to say, but the best of friend have to part
