Jockey Man Blues

Good morning, blues, please shake hands with me

Good morning, blues, please shake hands with me

I've got the blues this morning, just as low as I can

be

How can I sleep nights, baby, when you turn your back

on me

How can I sleep nights, baby, when you turn your back

on me

I'm gonna take my troubles, go down by the sea

You can eat 'n my kitchen, sleep in my bed

Fall down in my arms, pretty papa, rest your worried

head

'Cause I need, need some loving now

I ain't got no one to love me, weeooo, like you know

how

I woke up this morning with the rising sun

I woke up this morning with the rising sun

My pretty papa's a jockey, and he sure don't ride for

fun

If you see my jockey, I said please tell him hurry home

If you see my jockey, I said please tell him hurry home

I ain't had no loving, Lord, since my jockey been gone

My jockey rode this morning, and my love come falling

down

My jockey rode this morning, and my love come falling

down

Said, "I'll be your monkey woman, but please don't lead

me around"

Take a race horse to run, a jockey to ride around

Take a pretty sealskin papa, make my love come down

'Cause I don't feel welcome, sleeping by myself

Lord, since you went away and left me, I don't want

nobody else
