Lightnin' Hopkins-So Sorry To Leave You

So Sorry To Leave You

[whitestrat]

Man, this needs more listeners. So much emotion!

[KingofgraceSARA]

His voice does something to me. It is smooth enough, as if the pain didn't get a chance to attach to his vocal chords.

American popular music came from this !! Thank goodness

Great then --- great now ---- soul before they called it soul ---- wonderful music

Lyrics: So sorry to leave you now, baby, darling but I just gotta say goodbye x2 Lord have mercy!
Well, you know, I don´t want to see you worry oo well, well, I don´t wanna see you cry

You know, my mama said, son, best of friends they got to part
Whoa, you know, my mama said, son, do you know best of friends got to part
Yeah you know some may be cryin´ and puttin´ on
And may hurt someone deep down in their heart

Whoa, it look like the world turned around on me
Don´t no one seem to care x2
Whoa you know I keep on thinkin´about my baby, Lord have mercy!
That little girl is so far away from here

You know if I had wings like an angel, I´d tell you where I would fly x2
Whoa, I´d fly to the heart of Antoinette, that´s where Po´ Lightnin´d give up to die Whoa!
Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy, have mercy, have mercy.... hmm
