Stevie Ray Vaughan - Empty Arms Lyrics






You're gonna miss me little baby the day that I'm gone
You're gonna miss me little darlin the day that I'm gone
Cause I'm leavin in the mornin, won't be back at all

You have run me ragged baby, It's your own fault you're on your own
You have run me ragged darlin, It's your own fault you're on your own
You didn't want me no way baby, till your other man was gone

You can try to get me back baby, with all your tricks and charms
You can try to get me back baby, with all your tricks and charms
But when all your games are over, you'll be left with empty arms

[guitar solo x3]

You have run me ragged baby, It's your own fault you're on your own
You have run me ragged darlin, It's your own fault you're on your own
You didn't want me no way baby, till your other man was gone

You can try to get me back baby, with all your tricks and charms
You can try to get me back baby, with all your tricks and charms
But when all your games are over, you'll be left with empty arms

    Chris Layton tearing it up with a feel made famous in my town by Sandy Konikoff “Mad Dogs and Englishmen” - Sandy from Buffalo NY, hometown of incredible drummers like Tommy Walsh (Spyro Gyra),Gary Mallabar (Van Morrison, Steve Miller), Mike Caputi, Ted Rheinhart ( Gamelon), so many more. Sometimes this is called The Buffalo Shuffle or The Sandy Shuffle.

    C.... S....

    This studio version is actually stevie ray vaughn on drums !! Crazy i know ! but true !!

  20. A.... A....

    SRV - Empty Arms - The Sky Is Crying 1991

    Master. Enough said.

  22. H.... A....

    Master a pure Master at his trade there never be another rest in peace my friend rest in peace

    H.... A....

    At least the Lord gave him opportunity to get his life straight before he went; so I sincerely hope that included his relationship with Jesus ... Who said, No one comes unto the Father, but by me.

  23. A.... G....

    Amen to that brother! pure sincerity of SRV got to love it!

  24. J.... A....

    new rule: talented musicians are no longer allowed in aircraft during inclement weather.

    J.... A....

    I agree

    J.... A....

    Stevie wasn't one to necessarily follow rules.

    J.... A....

    Gonna put that in the contract. Perfer scenic routes anyway lol. RIP to all those stars who have fallen. God always needs a A plus band upstairs.

    J.... A....

    There's was no bad weather, the pilot had not license to fly at night.

    J.... A....

    That's a given, I personally think Stevie should of found a better way to get to Chicago.

  25. J.... C....

  28. G.... L....

    You're gonna miss me little baby the day that I'm gone
    You're gonna miss me little darlin the day that I'm gone
    Cause I'm leavin in the mornin, won't be back at all

    You have run me ragged baby, It's your own fault you're on your own
    You have run me ragged darlin, It's your own fault you're on your own
    You didn't want me no way baby, till your other man was gone

    You can try to get me back baby, with all your tricks and charms
    You can try to get me back baby, with all your tricks and charms
    But when all your games are over, you'll be left with empty arms

    [guitar solo x3]

    You have run me ragged baby, It's your own fault you're on your own
    You have run me ragged darlin, It's your own fault you're on your own
    You didn't want me no way baby, till your other man was gone

    You can try to get me back baby, with all your tricks and charms
    You can try to get me back baby, with all your tricks and charms
    But when all your games are over, you'll be left with empty arms
