Driftin Sand
by 
Jimmy Dawkins 
recording of 1994 
from 
Blues And Pain (Wild Dog 9108) 
Lost the fight with a woman so fast, seems like I'm standing on driftin' sand 
Lost the fight with my woman so fast, seems like I'm in driftin' sand 
And all the time I thought she love me, now she is gone with another man 
Left me early in the morning, down by the railroad track 
Left me early in the morning, down by the railroad track 
The live is what she taught me, but you better hold your bright life away from that 
So mama, please, please try to understand 
Baby, please, please try to understand 
You know I'm living with a broken heart, now I'm singing in driftin' sand 
Baby, please, keep on trying to understand 
I need you to be my woman, I wanna be your man 
The way you left me here, baby, seems like I'm standing in driftin' sand 
I lost the fight with my woman so fast, seems like I'm standing on driftin' sand 
Lost the fight with my woman so fast, seems like I'm on driftin' sand 
And all the time I thought she love me, but now she is fooling with another man.
