Big Bill Broonzy - Saturday Evening Blues Lyrics

Artist: Big Bill Broonzy

Album: Miscellaneous

Genre: Folk

  • Songwriters: William Lee Conl Broonzy

It was late, one Saturday evenin'
After the sun went down
Yes, it was late one Saturday evenin'
Lord, after the sun went down
Yeah, I went lookin' for my baby
Lord, but she was not around

The wind started howlin'
And the rain begin to fall
Yeah, the wind started howlin'
Lord, and the rain begin to fall
Yes, if my baby had-a known how much I loved her
She wouldn't never left me at all

Her picture is still on my dresser
And her gown is on my bed
Yes, her picture's on my dresser
Lord, and her gown is on my bed
Lord, I'm just sittin' here wonderin' is my baby livin'
Lord, or is my little baby dead

She left home one Saturday evenin'
After the sun went down
Yes, she left home one Saturday evenin'
Lord, after the sun went down
Lord, I know it's somethin' wrong
'Cause my baby can't be found

Now every Saturday evenin'
After the sun go down
Every Saturday evenin'
I get these blues as blue can be
Lord, we three was so happy
My wife and my guitar and me
