Lyrics 40 Days and Forty Nights - Muddy Waters

Forty days and forty nights
Since my baby left this town
The sun shinin′ all day long
But the rain keep comin' down
She′s my life, I need her soul
Why she left I just don't know
Forty days and forty nights
Since I sat right down and cried
Keep rainin' all the time
But the river is runnin′ dry
Lord, help me it just ain′t right
I love that girl with all my might
Forty days and forty nights
Since my baby broke my heart
Searchin' for her everywhere
Like a blind man in the dark
Love can make a poor man rich
Or break his heart, I don′t know which
Forty days and forty nights
Like a ship out on the sea
Prayin' for her each night
That she would come back home to me
Life is love and love is light
I hope she come back home tonight
