Old Time Blues

歌詞

You promised me that you would treat me right Now you won't do nothin', honey, but fuss and fight My Mama, she told me, when I left my home "Son, be a good boy and leave bad women 'lone" Now my Mama, she's dead, Papa won't allow me home I ain't got nobody, teach me right from wrong I was young and foolish, I was easy led I been mistreated ever since, Mama, she's been dead Sometimes it seems like the whole world is down on me If I've been a bad boy, I did not intend to be Tell me, pretty mama, who can your good man be? You ain't got nobody, honey, won't you please take me? I've got three women, yellow, black and brown When I go to see one, tell the other two I'm out of town I want all you women to strictly understand Every man you meet sure ain't no monkeyman When I had money, friends from miles around Now I done lost all my money, friends can't even be found I'm gon' leave here walkin', comin' back 'til Fall My, it's luck won't change I won't be back at all Tell me, pretty mama, who can your good man be? You ain't got nobody, honey, won't you please take me? I'm goin' to Florida, where I can have my fun Set down in the green grass and look up at the sun I'm weary now, but I won't be worried long Takes a worried man to sing this weary song
