"Fare Thee Well Blues" lyrics - SON HOUSE

Told me, early last Fall, you never had no man at all
Fare thee, baby, fare thee well
Told me, early Fall, you never had no man at all
Well, you got more men than a two-ton truck can haul

You told me, to my face, that a good man in my place
Fare thee, baby, fare thee well
You told me, to my face, that a good man in my place
Fare thee, baby, fare thee well

Told me, it was early Spring, when the birds begin to sing
Fare thee, baby, fare thee well
Told me, early last Spring, when the birds begin to sing
Well it's the last chance, gettin' to be my gal with me

I told you early in that June, when the flowers begin to bloom
Fare thee, baby, fare thee well
I told you early in June, when the flowers begin to bloom
You don't do no better, 'nother good girl can take your room

Go and hoist your window, let your curtain down
Fare thee, baby, fare thee well
Go and hoist your window, let your curtain down
Well, you can't tell there might be some joker around

Go and put on your nightgown, baby, let's we go lie down
Fare thee, baby, fare thee well
Go and put on your nightgown, baby, let's we go lie down
Well, it's the last chance, shakin' in the bed with you
