Paroles
Got The Blues (tk.1), Blind Lemon Jefferson . . . . March 1926
(G position, F# pitch)
Well the blues come to Texas loping like a mule
I said the blues come to Texas loping like a mule
You take a high brown woman, man, she is hard to fool
You can't ever tell what a woman's got on her mind
Man, you can't tell what a woman's got on her mind
You might think she's crazy about you, she's leavin' you all the time
She ain't so good-looking, teeth don't shine like pearls
She ain't so good-looking and her teeth don't shine like pearls
But that nice disposition carry that woman all through the world
I'm goin' to the river, carry my rocker chair
Goin' to the river gonna carry my rocker chair
Gonna ask that gal??? the worried blues rest here
Said I think I heard my good gal calling me
Hey hey, is my good gal calling me
She couldn't call so loud but you hear her said Lemon so plain
I'm raised in Texas schooled in Tennessee
I was raised in Texas, was schooled in Tennessee
Said woman you can't make no fatmouth outta me
Can't a woman act funny quittin' you for another man?
Now can't a woman act funny quittin' you for another man?
She never look at me straight but she always raisin' sand
