"Traveling Mama Blues" lyrics - SON HOUSE
Well, a short-leg mama tryin' to carry your daddy by
Well, a short-leg mama tryin' to carry your daddy by
Says, I want to let you know, I growed most too high
Said, when you see your rider, in and out the road
When you see your rider, out and in the road
Says, she's turnin' on her fan like a 1930 Ford
Aw, she's doin' things that you don't never know
Say, now she's doin' things, 'tyou don't never know
Ah, stop and listen, at the one note, how she blow
Said, I stopped and listened, that one note, how she blow
Said, it stay in anyone's heart, made them want to go
With my girl in the daytime, I walk with her at night
Walk with my good girl in the daytime, walk with her at night
Said, I was tryin' to teach and tell 'er, how to treat a good man right
Way you're doing me, mama, says it's out of sight
Way you're doing me, mama, says it's out of sight
Says, anything a kidman do, well it bes all right
I'm gonna jack me a paling from my yard's back fence
I'm gonna jack me a paling from my yard's back fence
I'm gonna throw the whuppin', learn the good girl some sense
Well, I do and I do, double do love you
Well, I do and I do, do and I do love you
Say, nothin' 'll find me, in this state but you
