Seems like I heard that lonesome Sunnyland blow
 Now it blowing just like it won't be back no more

 Well I feel bad this morning, feel just like I want to cry
 Feel bad this morning, feel just like I want to cry
 Well my baby rode that Sunnyland this mornin',
 she didn't even once say goodbye

 I got a letter from my baby, and she said she was coming home
 Got a letter from my baby, and she said she was coming home
 Well sat around waiting, baby, and I hope it won't be long

 She said, cool down papa, now you better change your way
 She said, cool down papa, and you better change your way
 Yeah, it's true, you know I love you baby, and you gonna need my help someday
