Roots of Blues -- Robert Johnson „Love In Vain"

Thank you for introducing him to me.

Thank you my audiophile friend SGT (Join to see) for posting the audio recording of Robert Johnson performing "Love In Vain" in recognition of the fact that on August 16, 1938, Delta-blues singer and guitarist Robert Johnson died at the age of 27.

"Love In Vain" written by Robert Leroy Johnson
Lyrics
"I wanna go with our next one myself."

And I followed her to the station
With a suitcase in my hand
And I followed her to the station
With a suitcase in my hand
Well, it's hard to tell, it's hard to tell
When all your love's in vain
All my love's in vain

When the train rolled up to the station
I looked her in the eye
When the train rolled up to the station
And I looked her in the eye
Well, I was lonesome, I felt so lonesome
And I could not help but cry
All my love's in vain

When the train, it left the station
With two lights on behind
When the train, it left the station
With two lights on behind
Well, the blue light was my blues
And the red light was my mind
All my love's in vain

Ou hou ou ou ou
Hoo, Willie Mae
Oh oh oh oh oh hey
Hoo, Willie Mae
Ou ou ou ou ou ou hee vee oh woe
All my love's in vain'
