Lost Wandering Blues

[Verse 1]
I'm leavin' this mornin' with my clothes in my hand
Lord,  I'm leavin' this mornin' with my clothes in my hand
I  won't stop goin' 'til I find my man

[Verse 2]
I'm standin' here, wonderin', will a match box hold my clothes?
Lord, I'm standin' here, wonderin', will a match box hold my clothes?
I  got a trunk too big to be bothered with on the road

[Verse 3]
I  went up on the mountain, turned my face to the sky
Lord, I went up on the mountain, turned my face to the sky
I  heard a whisper, it said "Mama, please don't die"

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]
I turned around to give him my right hand
Lord, I turned around to give him my right hand
When I looked in his face, I was talkin' to my man

[Verse 5]
Lord,  let me yonder, people, my love has been refused, Lord
I said let me yonder, people, my love has been refused
That's the reason why mama's got them lost wanderin' blues
