Barbecue Blues歌詞

作詞 : Robert Hicks
作曲 : Robert Hicks
[Verse One]
Woke up this morning gal
'Twixt midnight and day
I woke up this morning
'Twixt midnight and day
With my hand around my pillow
Where my brown used to lay
[Verse Two]
I know I ain't good looking
Teeth don't shine like pearls
I ain't good looking
Teeth don't shine like pearls
So glad, good looks don't take you through this world
[Verse Three]
Goin' starch my jumper, mama
Iron my overalls
Goin' starch my jumper
Iron my overalls
My brown done quit me
God knows she had it all
[Verse Four]
I'm going to tell you now, gal
Like gypsy told the Jews
Going to tell you now, gal
Like gypsy told the Jews
If you don't want me
Here's a cinch--I don't want you
[Verse Five]
Did you ever dream lucky
Wake up calling her?
Did you ever dream lucky
Wake up calling her?
That's a mighty true sign
Your brown got some other man
[Outro]
My mama told me
Papa told me too
My mama told me
Papa told me too
Some brown skin woman
Going to be the death of you
