Phil Chess - Forty Days & Forty Nights lyrics

Forty days and forty nights since my baby done left this town Sun shinin' all day long but the river keep runnin' dry She's my life I need her so, why she left I just don't know Forty days and forty nights since I sat right down and cried Keeps rainin' all the time but the river keep runnin' dry Lord help me, it just ain't right, I love this child with all my might Forty days and forty nights since my baby broke my heart Searchin' for her everywhere like a blind man in the dark Love can make a poor man rich or break his heart, I don't know which Forty days and forty nights like a ship out on the sea Prayin' for her each night that she'd come back home to me Life is love and love is light, I hope she come back home tonight
