Juke Lyrics - Jimmy Rogers

(Bernie Roth) 

Forty days and forty nights 

Since my baby left this town 

Sunshinin' all day long 

But the rain keep comin' down 

She's my life I need her so 

Why she left I just don't know 

Forty days and forty nights 

Since I set 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-a my might 

Forty days and forty nights 

Since my baby broke my heart 

Searchin' for her in a while 

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-a home to me 

Life is love and love is right 

I hope she come back home tonight
