Stocking Feet Blues
Somebody just keep on callin' me
Somebody just keeps on callin' me
She's got hair like a mermaid on the sea
She got up this mornin',
come a-tippin' 'cross the floor,
said, mama, in her lovin' stockin' feet
"Honey, it's fare thee, sweet papa, fare thee well
I done all in the world I could tryin' to get along with you"
Make me down one pallet on your floor
Make me down a pallet on your floor
Make it calm and easy, make it down by your door
I can't stay awake, I done cried the whole night long
I can't stay awake, I've cried the whole night long
The good woman I love, she done packed her trunk and gone
Don't mistreat me because I'm young and wild
Don't mistreat me because I'm young and wild
Sugar, you ought to remember that you once was a child
I don't feel welcome and I don't care where I go
I don't feel welcome, I don't care where I go
This woman I love, she drove me from her door
Said, "Fair brown, where did you stay last night?"
Said, "Fair brown, where did you stay last night?
Your hair's all down and you know you ain't talkin' right"
I'm a stranger here, just come in on this train
Mm-mm-mm-mm, come in on this train
Won't some good man tell me some woman's name
Somebody just keeps on callin' me
She's got hair like a mermaid on the sea
She got up this mornin',
come a-tippin' 'cross the floor,
said, mama, in her lovin' stockin' feet
"Honey, it's fare thee, sweet papa, fare thee well
I done all in the world I could tryin' to get along with you"
Make me down one pallet on your floor
Make me down a pallet on your floor
Make it calm and easy, make it down by your door
I can't stay awake, I done cried the whole night long
I can't stay awake, I've cried the whole night long
The good woman I love, she done packed her trunk and gone
Don't mistreat me because I'm young and wild
Don't mistreat me because I'm young and wild
Sugar, you ought to remember that you once was a child
I don't feel welcome and I don't care where I go
I don't feel welcome, I don't care where I go
This woman I love, she drove me from her door
Said, "Fair brown, where did you stay last night?"
Said, "Fair brown, where did you stay last night?
Your hair's all down and you know you ain't talkin' right"
I'm a stranger here, just come in on this train
Mm-mm-mm-mm, come in on this train
Won't some good man tell me some woman's name
