Song John Mayall - Mother In Law Blues

It was early in the mornin', I heard the rooster call for day
It was early in the mornin', I heard the rooster call the day
I looked out my window and saw my baby walk away

I cried Lord please stop her, I ain't gonna get drunk no more
I cried Lord please stop her, ain't gonna get drunk no more
I howled out my window: "Come back baby, please don't go"

I know she heard me callin', she looked back and waved her hand
I know she heard me callin', she looked back and waved her hand
She said: "I'm so sorry, baby, you're just footprints in the sand"

Well, I watch my baby leave, my mother-in-law held her by the hand
Well, I watch my baby leave, my mother-in-law held her by the hand
I'd give anything I have just to see that girl again
