Lyrics
It's time for Mr. Bobby "Blue" Bland
Ladies and gentlemen, I know you been waitin' on this
I said I know you been waitin' on this (yeah!)
I can't hear you, I said I know you been waitin' on it! (yeah!)
Ladies and gentlemen, without further ado
It's my pleasure to present to you at this time
Mr. Blues himself, would you please give a wonderful warm welcome
For none other, ladies and gentlemen, than the Reverend Doctor Bobby "Blue" Bland!
Ladies and gentlemen
Ladies and gentlemen, the Reverend Doctor Bobby "Blue" Bland!
And when I'm alone, I cry, Lord
Ain't it lonesome, Lord, it's so dog-gone lonesome
When your -, when your love is not around
Well, I can say this to you
It's so lone
Oh, how I hate to see you go
Show up and hold on, woman
Oh, how I hate to see you go
Sharin' a wave and I'll miss you
Oh, I guess you never know
I said we've been together so long
I have to separate this way
We've been together so long, so damn long, long
I have to separate this way
Sure, I guess I'll let you go it alone, baby
Oh, I pray you'll come back home someday
Come back, come back home, come back, baby
You gotta
Come on, baby
Oh, I bet you change your mind
Oh, I want your love with all my cryin'
I bet you change your-
Why don't you reconsider, baby?
Give yourself a-, a little more time, yeah
