My Baby She Left Me (She Lets Me a Mule to Ride)

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

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

Now if that don't bring her back

I'm sure this old shotgun will

Lake Michigan ain't no river

Chicago ain't no hill town

Lake Michigan ain't no river

Chicago ain't no hill town

If I feel like this tomorrow

I'm gonna clear out be back down Memphis bound

I'll be standing down on the landing

When the big boat pull off and roll

I'll be standing on the landing

When the big boat pull off and roll

I'll be hopin and I'll be prayin

That I never see your face no more

When my baby left me

She left me with a mule to ride

When my baby she left me

She left me with a mule to ride

When her train left the station

That old mule laid down and died

Lord I sent that woman

A brand new twenty dollar bill

Man I sent my baby

A brand new twenty dollar bill

Now if that don't bring her back

I'm sure my shotgun will
