Match Box Blues (4424)

I'm settin' here wonderin' would a match box hold my clothes
I'm settin' here wonderin' would a match box hold my clothes
I ain't got so many matches, but I got so far to go

The girl cross town gonna be my teddy bear
Girl across town gonna be my teddy bear
"Put a string on me and I'll follow you everywhere"

And a peg leg woman, man, she can't hardly get her dough
I say, a peg leg woman, she can't hardly get her dough
I left her on a late bus last night
hollerin', "I'm sellin' jelly roll"

And I don't see why, these women treat me so mean
I don't see why, these gals treat me so mean
Sometime I think I'm some man these women ain't never seen

Lord I got up this mornin', with my sho' 'nuff on my mind
Got up this mornin', same thing on my mind
The woman I love, she keep a good man worried all the time

Now tell me mama, who may your manager be?
Now tell me, who may your manager be?
Reason I ask so many questions, can't you make arrangements for me?
