Help Me

2012

Lyrics

Oh babe
I can't sleep at night
and babe I wake up tired
I seem to have lost my appetite
Help me baby, help return me right

Oh babe
You're puttin a curse on me
You're making my mind so nervously
I can't take no more of this misery
Help me baby, help me I'm on my knees

Help me baby!

I drank some hot water on a silver dime
I put out every wicked thing from my mind
I took a pinch of silverweed, and a broken ring
Help me baby, help me don't you hear me cryin?

Help me baby!

Notes

This is also one of the first blues I wrote, and working on it with Martín Celis on drums in 2012-2014 really helped transform it into the moody and dynamic electric version. The lyrics reference some voodoo practices I read about (and tried) to cure myself of heartsickness. I repeat the chorus an extra time or two at the end because I was really begging for help.
