Blind Lemon Jefferson, guitarra, voz

I walked from Dallas, I walked to Wichita Falls
I say, I walked from Dallas, I walked to Wichita Falls
Hadn't a' lost my sugar, [and] I wasn't gonna walk at all.

Some women see you coming, man, they go get their rocker chair
Women see you coming, go get their rocker chair
I wanna fool this man and make out he's welcome here.

So cold in China, the birds can't hardly sing
So cold in China, birds can't hardly sing
You didn't make me mad till you broke my diamond ring.

Hey mama mama papa papa 'deed double do love you doggone it
Somebody's talking to you mama papa 'deed double do lo--ve you
What you cryin' 'bout, baby, papa don't care what you do.

I know my baby, she gonna jump and shout
I say, I know my baby, she gonna jump and shout
When she gets a letter Lemon have wrote [some] few days out.

Woman if you don't love me, just be frank and tell me so
I say if you don't love me, be frank and tell me so
So I can leave your town and hang crepe on your door.

Said baby what's the matter, Papa Lemon can't get no mail
Said baby what's the matter, Papa Lemon can't get no mail
Mama said last night, fool, a black cat's crossed your trail.

I said fair brown, tell me where'd you stay last night
Said fair brown, where'd you stay last night
Your hair's all down, you know you ain't talkin' right.
