Special Rider Blues

Skip James

I ain't got no special rider here
I ain't got no special rider...
I ain't got nobody to love and feel my care

I woke up this mornin', looked at the special risin' sun
Got up this mornin', looked at special risin' sun
An' I prayed to the Lord my special rider would go

I sing this song to ease your trouble in mind
Sing this song, ease your trouble in mind
And you stay worried, yeah, and bothered all the time

Hey, hey, what more can I do?
Hey, hey, what more can I do?
Honey, you must want me keep singin' these special blues
