Long Lonesome Blues - Blind Lemon Jefferson

Written by：Blind Lemon Jefferson

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 well I would not have

Walked at all

Some women see you comin' man they 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 the 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 talking to you mama and papa 'deed double do

Love you

What you cryin' 'bout baby papa don't care what you

Do

Well 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

Woman if you don't love me just be frank and

Tell me so

I say if you don't love me be frank and

Tell me so

So I can leave your town and hang crepe on

Your door

Said baby what's the matter papa lemon can't get no

Mail

Said baby what's the matter papa lemon can't get no

Mail

Mama dreamt last night pulled a black cat across your

Trail

I said fair brown tell me where'd you stay last

Night

Said fair brown where'd you stay last night

Your hair's all down you know you ain't talkin' right
