Saturday Evening Blues
by 
Big Bill Broonzy 
recording of July 12-13 1957, Chicago 
from House Rent Stomp (Blues Encore CD 52007), 
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 alone 
Her picture is still on my dresser, 
and her gown is on my bed 
Yes, her picture is 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 '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
