Blind Man

by recording of 19 from Blues in the Night (Ace 132) Blind man standing on the corner, crying out the blues Said, "I don't need a dollar, and don't you give me a dime, until you bring back that little girl of mine" I can't let her go, I'm hooked, I can't let her go People try to tell me, "Stop crying, and find you someone new, 'cause when that good Lord made one woman, hallelujah, don't you know he made two" But I can't let her go, I'm hooked, I can't let her go I can't let her go, Lord, I can't let her go He lifted up his head toward heaven and said, "Lord, I'd rather die than let a no-good woman make me stand on the corner an' cry" Lord knows, I'm living in a world of darkness, but that don't bother me And until I find that sweet little girl of mine, Lord knows, I just don't want to see I can't let her go, I'm hooked I can't let her go, won't somebody please help the blind I can't let her go, I'm hooked, I can't let her go I can't let her go, Lord, I can't let her go
