Special Rider Blues
Ballaké Sissoko
5:10I ain't got no special rider here I ain't got no special rider here I ain't got nobody To love and feel my care I woke up this morning Looked at the special rising sun I woke up this morning I looked at special rising' sun I prayed to the good Lord That my special rider, she'd come I got up off my pallet I laid down across my bed I got up off my pallet and I laid down across my bed I went to eat my breakfast But the blues was all in my bread You know, I got a letter How do you reckon it read? I got a letter cn how do you reckon it read? You better hurry home Because your special rider, she's dead I ain't got no, special rider here I ain't got no, no special rider here I ain't got nobody To love and feel my care
