Robert Johnson

Love in Vain


Spoken: "I wanna go with our next one myself."
And I followed her to the station
with a suitcase in my handAnd I followed her to the station
with a suitcase in my handWell, it's hard to tell, it's hard to tell
when all your love's in vainAll my love's in vain
When the train rolled up to the station
I looked her in the eyeWhen the train rolled up to the station
and I looked her in the eyeWell, I was lonesome, I felt so lonesome
and I could not help but cryAll my love's in vain
When the train, it left the station
with two lights on behindWhen the train, it left the station
with two lights on behindWell, the blue light was my blues
and the red light was my mindAll my love's in vain
Ou hou ou ou ou
hoo, Willie MaeOh oh oh oh oh hey
hoo, Willie MaeOu ou ou ou ou ou hee vee oh woe All my love's in vain
