Alberta Hunter — Amtrak Blues

Somebody come here and help me Help me 'cause the man I love is gone Yes, come here and help me Help me, 'cause the man I love is gone I'm so confused and worried I can hardly carry on Oh, trouble, dark days Just can't last always (Lord, I know) I said trouble and dark days Just can't last always (Lord help me, help me) So I'm gonna keep on struggling I know I'll see brighter days (Please help me, somebody, help me) [Guitar solo] My two sisters told me Other people tried to tell me too (Oh Lord, yes) I said, my two sisters told me Other people tried to tell me too (Hey, yes) They said, you don't change your way of living That very man's gonna be the death of you (Oh Lord, yes) I know he's ornery, he's trifling He's the type of man that just don't care Lord, he's ornery, he's selfish He's the type of man that just don't care (Lord help me, help me, somebody) He'd pawn the holy bible Just to get his Amtrak railroad fare (Oh, he's lousy, he's a dirty dog) Oh, I love him, yes, I love him Oh, I love him Oh, and I don't mind dying (You hear me talking to you? Help me, somebody) I said I love him, yes, I love him Love him, and I don't mind dying (Oh, help me, yes, help me) I ever run across him I'm gonna crack his head And drink his blood like wine
