- Fannin Street LyricsMy mama told me
My sister too
Said, 'The Shreveport women, son,
Will be the death of you'
Said to my mama,
'Mama, you don't know
If the Fannin Street women gonna kill me
Well, you might as well let me go'
Follow me down,
Follow me down,
Follow me down
By Mr Tom Hughes town
I went to my mama
Fell down on my knees
Said, 'Oh, mama, won't you forgive me, please?'
She started to cry:
Follow me down,
Follow me down,
Follow me down
By Mr Tom Hughes town
I got a woman
Lives on Stony Hill
She used to sit down and gamble with
Mr Buffalo Bill
He's a bad man
You got a woman
Gamble with Buffalo Bill
Two chances in one, babe,
You ain't done got killed
She started to cry:
Follow me down,
Follow me down,
Follow me down
By Mr Tom Hughes town
I got a woman
Lives back of the jail
Makes an honest livin'
By the wigglin' of her tail
Cry for me
Anyone should ask you
Who made up this song
Tell 'em Huddie Ledbetter
Done been here and gone
Follow me down,
Follow me down,
Follow me down
By Mr Tom Hughes town
My sister too
Said, 'The Shreveport women, son,
Will be the death of you'
Said to my mama,
'Mama, you don't know
If the Fannin Street women gonna kill me
Well, you might as well let me go'
Follow me down,
Follow me down,
Follow me down
By Mr Tom Hughes town
I went to my mama
Fell down on my knees
Said, 'Oh, mama, won't you forgive me, please?'
She started to cry:
Follow me down,
Follow me down,
Follow me down
By Mr Tom Hughes town
I got a woman
Lives on Stony Hill
She used to sit down and gamble with
He's a bad man
You got a woman
Gamble with Buffalo Bill
Two chances in one, babe,
You ain't done got killed
She started to cry:
Follow me down,
Follow me down,
Follow me down
By Mr Tom Hughes town
I got a woman
Lives back of the jail
Makes an honest livin'
By the wigglin' of her tail
Cry for me
Anyone should ask you

Done been here and gone
Follow me down,
Follow me down,
Follow me down
