Big Four Blues - Leroy Carr

Big Four blowed this morning: at the break of day

And it sounds so lonesome: because it taken my baby away

Big Four Big Four: won’t you please turn your train around

Because here I sit all down and out: with my head hung down

I tried to be as good to that woman: as one man could be

And I mean it’s a shame: the way she went and left poor me

Yes I’m down and out: ain’t got no money to ride no train

But I’m going to find my good gal: and bring her back home again

Please Mr brakeman: won’t you let a poor man ride your blinds

I’m just trying to make it: back to that gal who is worrying my mind
