[Spoken Intro]
You listenin', Ma? This one's for you.
[Verse 1]
All day long
All day long, so alone
All day long
All day long, so alone
Won't you come and take me Lord
Come and take me, take me home
[Verse 2]
Lordy, please
Take me from this misery
Lordy, please
Take me from this misery
Oh, this old world don't look that good
I've already lived there, it's misery
[Chorus]
Lordy, Lord
Lordy, Lord, let it rain
Make a muddy, muddy river
Wash me clean, send me away
[Verse 3]
Lordy, Lord
Lordy, Lord, I don't belong
Lordy, Lord
Lordy, Lord, it's in this world I don't belong
I know your strength is in my weakness
But my weakness is gettin' a little strong
All right! Go!
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Lordy, Lord
Lordy, Lord, let it rain
Make a muddy, muddy river
Wash me clean, send me away
[Verse 4]
Well, Lord, Lord, Lordy Lord
Lordy, Lord, I don't belong
Lordy, Lord, you've never failed me
When I've failed me, you've been strong
I tried to make this old world my home
When right next to you is where I belong, yeah
All right
[Spoken Outro]
Yeah!
