Stevedore Man

[Verse 1]
Woke up this mornin' 'bout half past 9:00
And I just could not keep from cryin'
I was worried about that Stevedore man of mine
Now my man must be gone to Spain
Lord, I hate to call my sweet daddy's name
Oh, [Lord/and/how] I miss him so
Doctor, fill this prescription for poor me
And cure me of my love disease

[Verse 2]
It's rainin' and it's hailin', stormin', daddy, on the sea
It's rainin' and it's hailin', it's stormin' on the sea
And that's the onliest way [to/they'll] keep my sweet daddy away from me

[Verse 3]
I went down to the station and I could not keep from cryin'
Went down to the station, could not keep from cryin'
Lord, a train had my man and it was fairly flyin'

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]
I stole that sweet man, stole him from my best friend
I stole that sweet man, stole him from my best friend
And that woman's done got lucky, Lord, and stole her man back again
