Come and Go Blues

by Gregg Allman

People say that you’re no good,

But I wouldn’t cut you loose, baby, if I could.

Well, I seem to stay down on the ground,

Baby, I’m too far gone to turn around.

Oh, if only you would make up your mind,

Take me where you go, you’re leaving me behind.

Lord, you got those come and go blues,

Lord, you got those some and go blues,

Yes, you do, oh and you got me feelin’ like a fool.

‘Round ‘n’ ’round, ’round we go, –

Don’t ask me why I stay here, I don’t know.

Well maybe I’m a fool to care,

Without your sweet love, baby I would be nowhere.

Here I’ll stay, locked in your web,

Till that day I might find somebody else.

I don’t know just when that would be,

I don’t know, I can’t say as I can’t see.

Lord you got me feeling like a fool.

Sail on, darlin’, sail on

Woman, you go your way, and I’ll go mine

Seems to me, that I once heard

That everything is finally cured by time

So sail on, darlin’, sail on

Lord, I wish you good luck

And I’ll see you when you come next time.

Woman, you got those come and go blues

Yeah, you got those come and go blues,

Yes, you do, oh and you got me feelin’ like a fool.
