BROKE DOWN ENGINE
(Blind Willie McTell)

Feel like a broke down engine. Ain't got no drivin' wheel. (2x)
If you've been down and lonesome, then you know how a poor boy feels.

I been shootin' craps and gamblin', honey, and I done got broke. (2x)
Pawned my pistol, my good clothes are sold.

I went down to my prayin' ground, dropped down on bended knees. (2x)
I ain't prayin' for no religion, just bring me back my good gal, please.

If you just send her back, lord, I won't worry you no more. (2x)
Don't have to put her in my house, just lead her up to my front door.

Don't you hear me baby, rappin' on your door?
Don't you hear your daddy, rappin' on your door?
Now you hear me tappin', tappin' across your floor.

Feel like a broke down engine, ain't got no drivers at all. (2x)
Reason I love that woman, she can really do the Georgia Crawl.

Feel like a broke down engine, ain't got no whistles or bells. (2x)
Takes a red-hot mama to cure your daddy's weepin' spells.
And I won't come back no more.

Recorded by Blind Wille McTell and many others
