Long Lonesome Blues (1054)

I walked from Dallas, I walked to Wichita Falls
I say, I walked from Dallas, I walked to Wichita Falls
Hadn't have lost my sugar, just wasn't gonna walk at all

Women see you comin', man, go get the rocker chair
Women see you comin', go get the rocker chair
"I wanna fool this man and make out he's welcome here"

So cold in China, these birds can hardly sing
So cold in China, birds can hardly sing
You didn't make me mad till you soak my diamond ring

Hey, mama and papa,
and papa's papa 'deed double do love you, doggone it
Somebody's gonna tell you, mama and papa 'deed double do love you
What you cryin' 'bout, sugar, papa don't care what you do

I know my baby, she gonna jump and shout
I say, I know my baby, she gonna jump and shout
When she gets a letter Lemon have rolled them few days out

Tell me what's the matter, baby, I can't get no mail
Could you tell me what's the matter, Papa Lemon can't get no mail
Mama, dreamt last night, pulled a black cat across your trail

I got up this mornin', the blues all around my bed
I got up this mornin', the blues all around my bed
Fixin' to eat my breakfast and the blues all in my bread
