Please Help Me

Well it’s pourin' down rain, and my baby 's nowhere 'round
Yes, it’s pourin' down rain, and my baby 's nowhere 'round
Yes, I guess she 's with her other lover, he live away from the storm
Please help me, please help me to find my way
Please help me, help me to find my way
I dream all night, and I cry all through the day
Mmm, please have mercy on me
Mmm, please have mercy on me
My poor heart is broken, I’m lonesome as a man can be
My baby 's gone, and won’t be back no more
My baby 's gone, and won’t be back no more
Please help me to find my baby, no matter where she goes
Mmm, mmm
Please help me, I can’t go this way
I dream all night, and I cry all through the day
Lord, please have mercy on me
Lord, please have mercy on me
If you can’t find my lover, send back my «used ta be.»
