Mean Old Frisco
Well that mean old dirty Frisco
And that low down Santa Fe
Hey, that mean old Frisco
And that low down Santa Fe
Well it took my baby
Took my baby far away
I was standin' just a-lookin'
Whilst that Southern whistle blow
I was standin' just a-lookin'
Whilst that Southern whistle blow
I wondered in mind
Where my sweet baby go?
Well I wondered if he'd answer
If he'd answer if I write
I wondered if he'd answer
If he'd answer if I write, if I write
Well I asked the Good Lord above
"Where's my sweet baby tonight?"
Well ain't it hard to stumble
When you've got no place to fall?
Well ain't it hard to stumble
When you've got no place to fall?
I'll tell you people
Ain't got no home in this world at all
Well they say that the grave is
A mighty lonesome place
I now they say that the grave is
A mighty lonesome place
They put you six feet underground
Dirt hauled in your face
Oh, that mean old dirty Frisco
And that low down Santa Fe
Yes, that mean old Frisco
And that low down Santa Fe
Well it took my baby
Took my baby far away
And that low down Santa Fe
Hey, that mean old Frisco
And that low down Santa Fe
Well it took my baby
Took my baby far away
I was standin' just a-lookin'
Whilst that Southern whistle blow
I was standin' just a-lookin'
Whilst that Southern whistle blow
I wondered in mind
Where my sweet baby go?
Well I wondered if he'd answer
If he'd answer if I write
I wondered if he'd answer
If he'd answer if I write, if I write
Well I asked the Good Lord above
"Where's my sweet baby tonight?"
Well ain't it hard to stumble
When you've got no place to fall?
Well ain't it hard to stumble
When you've got no place to fall?
I'll tell you people
Ain't got no home in this world at all
Well they say that the grave is
A mighty lonesome place
I now they say that the grave is
A mighty lonesome place
They put you six feet underground
Dirt hauled in your face
Oh, that mean old dirty Frisco
And that low down Santa Fe
Yes, that mean old Frisco
And that low down Santa Fe
Well it took my baby
Took my baby far away
