Snatch It Back Blues
(Listen here people, these are my blues,
I brought them all the way from Birmingham.
You know when it feels good to me it's bound to feel good to you
I'm goin' to see how'd you like that?)
I'm gonna lay my head out on some lonesome railroad track
I say, I'm gonna lay my head, mama, ah out on some railroad track
Well when that train come along, I'm gonna snatch it back
Tell me brownskin mama where did you stay last night?
I said, tell me mama where did you stay last night?
With your hair all down, your face ain't ever wiped
I say I love you pretty mama, ah'ou'ah don't care what you do
I say I love you pretty, ah'ou'ah don't care what you do
You go to your black man mama, I stick to my gal
I say if you don't need your black woman
you gonna have to carry some heavy stall
If you don't want me mama you got to carry some heavy stall
How come I say that?
Because I can get more jet black women than a freight train can haul
I brought them all the way from Birmingham.
You know when it feels good to me it's bound to feel good to you
I'm goin' to see how'd you like that?)
I'm gonna lay my head out on some lonesome railroad track
I say, I'm gonna lay my head, mama, ah out on some railroad track
Well when that train come along, I'm gonna snatch it back
Tell me brownskin mama where did you stay last night?
I said, tell me mama where did you stay last night?
With your hair all down, your face ain't ever wiped
I say I love you pretty mama, ah'ou'ah don't care what you do
I say I love you pretty, ah'ou'ah don't care what you do
You go to your black man mama, I stick to my gal
I say if you don't need your black woman
you gonna have to carry some heavy stall
If you don't want me mama you got to carry some heavy stall
How come I say that?
Because I can get more jet black women than a freight train can haul
