"Future Blues" lyrics - SON HOUSE

SON HOUSE
"Future Blues"

Can't tell my future
And I can't tell my past
Can't tell my future
And I can't tell my past
Lord, it seems like every minute
Sure gonna be my last

The minutes seems like hours
And hours seems like days
The minutes seems like hours
And hours seems like days
And it seems like my woman
Outta stop her low down ways

The woman I love now
She's five feet from the ground
I said, the woman I love now
Lordy, five feet from the ground
And she's tailor made
And ain't no hand me down

Lord, and I got a woman now
Lordy, she's lightnin when she
Lightnin' when she, lightnin' smile
I say, I got a woman
Lord, and she's lightnin when she smiles
Five feet and four inches
And she's damn good lookin' size

Well, I know you see that picture
Now, Lordy, up on your mother's
Up on your mother's, mama's shelf
I know you see that picture now
Up on your mother's shelf
Well, you know bout that
I'm gettin' tired of sleeping by myself

And it's T for Texas
Now, it's T for Tennessee
And it's T for Texas
Now, it's T for Tennessee
Lord, bless that woman
That put that thing on me
