Joe Turner's Blues-Lester McFarland
Lester McFarland, vocal and guitar in C and F positions, standard tuning, unnamed woman, spoken commentary

SPOKEN EXCHANGE: Unnamed woman: Listen here, Joe, you all done goin' away, leave me here? Lester: Gal, if you don't b'lieve I's leavin' you, you just listen, while I sings you this song. Unnamed woman: Boy, I sure is gonna listen.

INTRO

Sweet babe, I'm gonna leave you, and the time ain't long
No, the time ain't long
You don't believe I'll leave you, 'til the day I'm gone

You'll never miss your water 'til your well goes dry
'Til your well goes dry
You'll never miss your baby, 'til he says goodbye

Then you'll be sorry, oh, sorry to your heart
Sorry to your heart
Someday, babe, you and I must part

And every time you hear a whistle blow
Hear a steamboat blow
You'll think of the day you lost your Joe

SOLO

Then you'll be sorry, oh, sorry to your heart
Sorry to your heart
Someday, babe, you and I must part

And every time you hear a whistle blow
Hear a steamboat blow
You'll think of the day you lost your Joe
