Balky Mule Blues
"Spoken": Huh.
My gal musta had the 'lasses. Man,
she's actin' just like a balky mule
Hey, mama, I'm gonna ship you.
That fella hand me a tag over there, please
I got up this morning, I sure was feelin' fine
I got up this morning and I sure was feeling fine
I heard a rap at the door, must be that bear-cat woman of mine
She was fussin' and she was fightin' and actin' like a doggone fool
She was fussin', she was fightin' and actin' like a doggone fool
And hemmin' and a-hawin' and actin' just like a balky mule
Bear-cat ain't no wild cat and he don't stay home at night
Bear-cat ain't no wild cat and he don't stay home at night
But when it comes to squabblin', he sure can scratch and bite
I got up this mornin' I was easin' 'cross the floor
I got up this mornin', was easin' 'cross the floor
Now, my bear-cat's leavin' me, ain't gon' catch my mice no more
I was standin' on the corner when they brought me the bear-cat news
I was standin' on the corner when they brought me them bear-cat news
Now, here come my bear-cat mama to
run me 'way with them bear-cat blues
My gal musta had the 'lasses. Man,
she's actin' just like a balky mule
Hey, mama, I'm gonna ship you.
That fella hand me a tag over there, please
I got up this morning, I sure was feelin' fine
I got up this morning and I sure was feeling fine
I heard a rap at the door, must be that bear-cat woman of mine
She was fussin' and she was fightin' and actin' like a doggone fool
She was fussin', she was fightin' and actin' like a doggone fool
And hemmin' and a-hawin' and actin' just like a balky mule
Bear-cat ain't no wild cat and he don't stay home at night
Bear-cat ain't no wild cat and he don't stay home at night
But when it comes to squabblin', he sure can scratch and bite
I got up this mornin' I was easin' 'cross the floor
I got up this mornin', was easin' 'cross the floor
Now, my bear-cat's leavin' me, ain't gon' catch my mice no more
I was standin' on the corner when they brought me the bear-cat news
I was standin' on the corner when they brought me them bear-cat news
Now, here come my bear-cat mama to
run me 'way with them bear-cat blues
