Blind Blake Rope Stretchin' Blues Lyrics

Don't trust no woman : who mistreats her man
When you think she's in your kitchen cooking : she's got
a stranger by the hand

Ain't no need of you chasing women : brother if you
really haven't got the cash
Other men get all the chicken : and all you get is hash

I have a lot of woman : but I sure don't want one now
She always milks me dry : better than you ever milk a cow Mmm : rope stretching all day long
I'm singing now mama : because it won't be long

It wouldn't be so bad : if the rope would just get slack
I wouldn't mind at all : but I just got a crick in my
back

When it's all over mama : and you're all alone by my side
Just keep the flies from buzzing by me : and then I will
be satisfied
