Buddy Guy - Forty Days And Forty Nights

Forty days and forty nights since my baby done left this town
Sun shinin' all day long but the river keep runnin' dry
She's my life I need her so, why she left I just don't know
Forty days and forty nights since I sat right down and cried
Keeps rainin' all the time but the river keep runnin' dry
Lord help me, it just ain't right, I love this child 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'd come back home to me
Life is love and love is light, I hope she come back home tonight
