If you see me in a diner
with a gone look on my face
Putting nickers in a jukebox
and staring into space
Send for my baby,
tell him I'm feeling low down and blue
An d when my baby gets there,
he'll know just what to do
If I go down to the river
where the muddy water flows
You see me goin' swimmin'
and I go to meetin' closer for my baby
Tell him I'm feelin' low down and blue
An d when my baby gets there
he'll know just what to do
When a woman needs a man,
her head is bowed down
That's the time she's gotta
have a helpin' around
She needs some lovin'
to drive her blues away
A gal without a good man's
nothin' but a piece of clay
If you see me by the railroad,
with this burden on my back
You hear that engine whistle,
I'm standing on the track.
Send for my baby,
to him I'm feeling low down and blue.
An d when my baby gets there,
he'll know just what to do.
Yeah, when my baby gets there,
he'll know just what to do.
Send for my baby, please
