He's gone, Blind Boy Fuller's gone away

He's gone, Blind Boy Fuller's gone away

Well he heard a voice calling, and he knew he could not stay



Well he called me to his bedside one morning, and the clock was strikin' four

Called me to his bedside one morning, and the clock was strikin' four

Brownie take my guitar and carry my business on, I won't stay here no more



Blind Boy had a million friends, north, east, south and west

Blind Boy had a million friends, north, east, south and west

Well you know it's hard to tell, which place he was loved the best



Well all you women of Blind Boy's, how do you want your lovin' done?

All of you women of Blind Boy's, how do you want your lovin' done?

I'll do my best, I'll do my best, to carry Blind Boy's business on



Goodbye Blind Boy!
