Shotgun Blues - Junior Wells

When my baby she left me

She left me with a mule to ride

When my baby she left me

She left me with a mule to ride

Lord when her train left the station

That old mule laid down and died

Man, I sent this woman

A brand new twenty dollar bill

Lord, I sent that woman

A brand new twenty dollar bill

Man, if that don’t bring her back

I’m sure this old shotgun will

Standing down on the landing

When that big boat pull off and roll

Standing down on the landing

When that big boat pull off and roll

Lord I just held up my hand because I know I wont see that little girl no more.

I sent my baby

A brand new twenty dollar bill

Boys, I sent that little girl

A brand new twenty dollar bill

Lord if that don’t bring her back

I’m sure my shotgun will.

Down that road I git to go.
