Peg Leg Howell — Turtle Dove Blues

I weep like a willow, more than I ever could do I weep like a willow, more than I could do I weep like a willow, more like a dove Said, 'life ain’t worth livin' if you ain't with the one you love’ If I had wings like another turtle dove If I had wings like another turtle dove If I had wings like another turtle dove I would rather fly, fly to the one I love It's a low down farmer, mistreating engineer It's a low down farmer, mistreating engineer It's a low down farmer, mistreating engineer Took my gal away, and then left me standing here I was standing at the station waiting for my train Standing at the station, waiting for my train Standing at the station, waiting for my train And the tears went down just like the drops of rain Mr. Engineer, turn your engine 'round Mr. Engineer, turn your engine 'round Mr. Engineer, turn your engine 'round For the woman I love, she done blowed this town Gonna leave here walking, talking to myself Gonna leave here walking, talking to myself Gonna leave here walking, talking to myself The woman I love, she can have somebody else
