Weepin Willow Blues
by 
Blind Boy Fuller 
recording of 19 
from Saydisc 143, 
Lord, that weepin' willow and that mournin' dove 
That weepin' willow and that mournin' dove 
I got a gal up the country, Lord, you know I sure do love 
Now, if you see my woman, tell her I says hurry home 
(spoken: Aw, sho') 
You see my woman, tell her I says hurry home 
I ain't had no lovin' since my gal been gone 
Where it 'tain't no love, ain't no gettin' along 
Where it ain't no love, mama, ain't no gettin' along 
My gal treat me so mean and dirty, sometime I don't know right from wrong 
Lord, I lied down last night, tried to take my rest 
I lied down last night, tried to take my rest 
(spoken: What happened, boy?) 
You know, my mind got to 
ramblin' 
just like wild geese in the west 
Gonna buy me a bulldog 
, watch whilst I sleep 
Gonna buy me a bulldog, watch whilst I sleep 
Just to keep these men from makin' this early mornin' creep 
Now, if you see my woman, tell her I says hurry home 
You see my woman, tell her I says hurry home 
I ain't had no lovin' since my gal been gone 
You gonna want my love, baby, some lonesome day 
(spoken: Yeah!) 
You gonna want my love, mama, some old lonesome day 
Then it be too late, I'll be gone too far away

Note 1: bulldog, a handgun with a thick usually short barrel.
