Another later recording:

STANDING AT MY WINDOW
As recorded by Arthur "Big Boy" Crudup, on "That's Alright Mama" (1961)

I was standing at my window, tears running all down my cheek.
Yes, I was standing at my window, tears running all down my cheek.
I could see the woman that I love stoppin' ev'ry man in the street she meet.

I cried: "Lord, have mercy; what wrong in this world have I done?" (2x)
You know look like ev'ry woman I get, she have to get some other one.

Yes, a blind man seen her and a dumb man called her name.
Yes, a blind man seen my baby and a dumb man called her name.
I know my baby was gon' say: "Lord, I ain't got no man."
