Blind Lemon Jefferson

My mind leads me to take a trip down south
My mind leads me to take a trip down south
Take a trip down south and stop at a fatmouths house
One trains at the depot with the red and blue lights behind
One trains at the depot with the red and blue lights behind
Well, the blue lights the blues, the red lights the worried mind
I hate to tell you, sugar, it taint nobody there
I hate to tell you, sugar, it taint nobody there
If a man stay here, hell stay most anywhere
I got up this mornin, ramblin for my shoes
I got up this mornin, ramblin for my shoes
The little woman said to me, "Its all the world-weary blues"
Uncle Sam was no woman, but didnt he draft your man?
Uncle Sam was no woman, but didnt he draft your man?
Tell me them good-lookin womens on the borders raisin sand.
Well, women on the borders drinkin over the water trough
Well, women on the borders drinkin over the water trough
I wished Uncle Sam would hurry up and pay these soldiers off
I cant drink coffee and the woman wont make no tea
I cant drink coffee and the woman wont make no tea
I believe to my soul sweet mama gonna hoodoo me
I asked the girl did she love me, said, "Lemon, I dont know how"
I asked the girl did she love me, said, "Lemon, I dont know how"
Caught me commentatin, "Yes, I love you sky high"
She had feet like a monkey, head like a teddy bear
She had feet like a monkey, head like a teddy bear
And a mouth full of lip, I guarantees its everywhere.
Ive got a girl in Cuba, Ive got a girl in Spain
Ive got a girl in Cuba, Ive got a girl in Spain
Ive got a brownie yonder in Dallas, Im afraid to call her name
[ Dry Southern Blues Lyrics ]
