Future Blues

Can't tell my future and I can't tell my past
Lord it seems like every minute sure going to be my last
Oh a minute seems like hours and hour seems like days
A minute seems like hours and hour seems like days
And it seems like my woman ought to stop her lowdown ways
Oh that woman I love now she's five feet from the ground
Oh that woman I love now she's five feet from the ground
And she's tailor-made and ain't no hand-me-down
Lord, and I've got a woman now, Lord, and she lightning when she, lightning when she, lightning when she smiles
I say that I've got a woman Lord and she lightning when she smiles
Five feet and four inches and she's just good hugging size
I know you see that picture now up on your mother's, up un your mother's, mother's shelf
I know you see that picture now up on your mother's shelf
Well you know by that I'm getting tired of sleeping by myself
And it's T for Texas now and it's T for Tennessee
And it's T for Texas now and it's T for Tennessee
Lord bless that woman that put that thing on me |
M & O Blues

I leave here I'm going to catch that M&O
Now when I leave here I'm going to catch that M&O
I'm going way down south where I ain't never been before
Once I had a notion, Lord, and I believe I will
Once I had a notion, Lord, and I believe I will
I'm going to build me a mansion out on Decatur Hill
Now it's all of you men ought to be ashamed of yourself
It is all of you men ought to be ashamed of yourself
Going around swearing before God you got a poor woman by yourself
I started to kill my woman till she laid down across the bed
I started to kill my woman till she laid down across the bed
And she looked so ambitious till I took back everything I said
And I asked her how about it, Lord, and she said "All right"
And I asked her how about it, Lord, and she said "All right"
But she never showed up at the shack last night |
