Barbecue Bob Motherless Chile Blues Lyrics

If I mistreat you gal : I sure don't mean no harm
I'm a motherless child : and I don't know right from
wrong

Please tell me pretty mama : honey where you stayed last
night
You didn't come home : till the sun was shining bright

I have to go so far : to get my hambone boiled
These Atlanta women : going to let my hambone spoil

I done done more for you : than your daddy ever done I give you my jelly : he ain't give you none

When you see two women : always running hand in hand
You can bet your bottom dollar : one's got the other
one's man

I'm going to the river : get me a *dang* old rocking
chair
If the blues overtake me : going to rock on away from
here
