Alonzo "Lonnie" Johnson (February 8, 1899 – June 16, 1970) was an American blues and jazz singer/guitarist and songwriter who pioneered the role of jazz guitar and is recognized as the first to play single-string guitar solos. Johnson was not only one of the few black blues musicians invited to be 'guest featured' on a number of jazz recording sessions, he was also one of the only classic 1920's blues artists to have a revived a high-charting career after WWII. more »

Well it's pourin' down rain, and my baby ‘s nowhere ‘round.
Yes, it's pourin' down rain, and my baby ‘s nowhere ‘round.
Yes, I guess she ‘s with her other lover, he live away from the storm.

Please help me, please help me to find my way.
Please help me, help me to find my way.
I dream all night, and I cry all through the day.

Mmm, please have mercy on me.
Mmm, please have mercy on me.
My poor heart is broken, I'm lonesome as a man can be.

My baby ‘s gone, and won't be back no more.
My baby ‘s gone, and won't be back no more.
Please help me to find my baby, no matter where she goes.

Mmm, mmm,
Please help me, I can't go this way.
I dream all night, and I cry all through the day.

Lord, please have mercy on me.
Lord, please have mercy on me.
If you can't find my lover, send back my “used ta be.”
