Saturday Evening Blues
Lost Love Echoes: Saturday Evening's Melancholy Tale
Lyrics
It was late, one Saturday evenin'
Expressing the timeframe, late on a Saturday evening.
After the sun went down
Describing the time after sunset.
Yes, it was late one Saturday evenin'
Reiteration of the late Saturday evening.
Lord, after the sun went down
Highlighting the time after sunset.
Yeah, I went lookin' for my baby
Narrator searching for their baby.
Lord, but she was not around
Regret that the baby is not found.
The wind started howlin'
Introducing atmospheric elements - wind and rain.
And the rain begin to fall
Describing the onset of rain with the howling wind.
Yeah, the wind started howlin'
Reiterating the harsh weather conditions.
Lord, and the rain begin to fall
Continuation of the description of the weather.
Yes, if my baby had-a known how much I loved her
Expressing the narrator's love for the baby and regret for her leaving.
She wouldn't never left me at all
Belief that if the baby knew the love, she wouldn't have left.
Her picture is still on my dresser
Presence of the baby's picture on the narrator's dresser.
And her gown is on my bed
Indication of the baby's gown on the narrator's bed.
Yes, her picture's on my dresser
Reiteration of the baby's picture on the dresser.
Lord, and her gown is on my bed
Reiteration of the baby's gown on the bed.
Lord, I'm just sittin' here wonderin' is my baby livin'
Narrator wondering about the baby's well-being.
Lord, or is my little baby dead
Expressing uncertainty about the baby's life or death.
She left home one Saturday evenin'
Recounting the baby leaving on a Saturday evening.
After the sun went down
Reiteration of the time after sunset during the departure.
Yes, she left home one Saturday evenin'
Repetition of the baby leaving on a Saturday evening.
Lord, after the sun went down
Reiteration of the time after sunset during the departure.
Lord, I know it's somethin' wrong
Expressing a sense of something being wrong.
'Cause my baby can't be found
Stating the baby cannot be found, emphasizing the concern.
Now every Saturday evenin'
Introduction of a recurring event - every Saturday evening.
After the sun go down
Describing the time after the sun goes down regularly.
Every Saturday evenin'
Reiteration of the regular Saturday evening blues.
I get these blues as blue can be
Expression of intense sadness every Saturday evening.
Lord, we three was so happy
Recalling happier times with the wife and guitar.
My wife and my guitar and me
Listing the elements contributing to past happiness.
