Leavin' Town Blues

Ishman Bracey

Now tell you mama now, I'm sure gonna leave this town
Now tell you mama now, I'm sure gonna leave this town
'Cos I've been in trouble ever since I set my suitcase down

Now you don't believe I'm leavin', just watch the train I'm on
Now you don't believe I'm leavin', just watch the train I'm on
Now you don't believe I'm duckin', just count the days I'm gone

I ain't gonna be your teasing brown no more
Mama, now ain't gonna be your teasing brown no more
Sugar, the way you do me, you make my blood run cold

Now 'fore I stay, mama, be treated this way
Mama, 'fore I stay here now an' be treated this way
I let some freight train *stun me* everyday

Mmmh, Lord oh Lord oh, oh Lord oh Lord, oh Lord
Mmmh, Lord oh Lord oh, oh Lord oh Lord, oh Lord
And the woman I'm lovin' she treat me like a mangy dog

Now lokee yonder, sugar, where the rising sun done gone
Mmmh, lokke yonder, sugar, where the rising sun done gone
I believe we'll be here, mama, a longways from our home

Saturday Blues

Ishman Bracey

Now you hear me, mama, do you think that's right
You with your kid all day and run to me at night
With your kid all day and run to me at night
With your kid all day and run to me at night

Now my regular woman took my pocket change
And my sometime woman wants to do the same
And you better not let my regular catch you here
Lord, never let my regular catch you here

'Cause it 'tain't no tellin' what she might do
Now she might cut, she might shoot you too
Now she might cut you, she might shoot you too
Lord, she might cut you, she might shoot you too

Now she's the meanest woman that I've ever seen
And when I asked for water gimme gasoline
Now asked her for water, gimme gasoline
Lord, asked for water, gimme gasoline

Now if you want your woman to look like the rest
You buy her high brown powder, Palmer's Skin Success
You buy her high brown powder, Palmer's Skin Success
Buy her high bown powder, Palmer's Skin Success

Now I got four-five puppies, got one shaggy hound
It takes all them dogs to run my woman down
It takes all them dogs to run my woman down
Takes all them dogs to run my woman down

Now I got four-five puppies, got one shaggy hound
It takes all them dogs to run my woman down
It takes all them dogs to run my woman down
Take all them dogs to run my woman down
