Des'e My Blues

I said, des'e is my blues

Sing 'em ev'rywhere I go

I said, des'e is my blue, babe

An I sing 'em ev'rywhere I go

If these blues ain't alright

Why they ain't yon' territory

Now, the girl that I love

Got lots long black, curly hair

Now, the girl that I love

Got nice black curly hair

She got a nice disposition

Carry th'at woman most any-ol-where

Now, look-here, mama

You know I ain't nobody's fool

'Played around there'

Ooh, look-a-here, mam-mmm

Lord, I ain't nobody's fool

Now, that way you got doin' me

Sho' Lord, Lord it's outta school

Ha

Now, my mother tol' me

When I wasn't but two days old

I say, my baby told me

Lord, when I wa'nt but two days old

Baby sister

Said, 'That man, oh Lord

Is gon' be the death of yo' soul

Yeah!

Now, I'm g'win out east

Amongst the whiporwill

Yes, I'm g'win out east, babe

Yeah, now that fool is tryin' a quit me

So low but I love her still, yeah

Now, ain't none a-my business

But tell where ya stay last night?

Yes, yeah

It ain't none a-my business

But baby, tell where you stay last night

Yeah

Got yo' hair rumpled up

An yo' clothes ain't just fittin' you right.
