I don't see why the blues come in my house every morning before day
Every time he come in there, just about time he get there
My little girl, she done gone away
And her name was Ida Mae
And then I had to say
Mmm, please, please, please come back to me, Ida Mae
Mmm, oh Lord, please come back to me, Ida Mae
Baby, if you only come back to me this time
I ain't gonna have nothing else to say
Look-a here, girl
I know you don't like me no more
But I'm begging you with tears in my eyes
If you gonna go, just tell me goodbye, goodbye
You don't have to worry, you don't have to
Don't mistreat me no more, baby
Mmm, don't mistreat poor Lightnin' no more
You know I can't hardly live, yeah, I can't live no more
