Song For Mr. Johnson

Well I’ve been away so long,

You know my baby she ain’t at home.

Well I’ve been away so long,

You know my baby she ain’t at home.

She done and left me for another man,

Said “I can’t do this no more.”

Well I got to keep on ramblin’

Gotta play my rock and roll.

Well I got to keep on ramblin’

Gotta play my rock and roll.

All I need’s this here guitar,

And a woman to love my soul.

Well listen to me closely,

Listen to me good,

I know you say you love me,

But I don’t think its true no no.

Not when you do what you do.

Well you’ve been so mean babe,

But I can’t keep from loving you.

Well you know I’ve done some bad things,

Lord knows I’ve lost control.

Well you know I’ve done some bad things,

Lord knows I’ve lost control.

But this world keeps on spinning,

And I just keep singing my songs.

Well they say one and one is two,

But I kinda think it’s five,

Cause every time you touch me,

It makes me come alive yea yea,

Every time we cross that line,

Well I don’t want to leave you babe,

But if I stay I’ll lose my mind.

Well I got to keep on ramblin’

Gotta play my rock and roll.

Well I got to keep on ramblin’

Gotta play my rock and roll.

All I need’s this here guitar,

And a woman to love my soul.
