Miss Maybelle

Woh, Miss Maybelle let me be your hoppin' frog
Sit down drink muddy the water, sleep in a hollow log
Hey, Miss Maybelle let me be your hoppin' frog

I got ten little puppies & twelve little shaggy hounds
Take them twenty two dogs to run Miss Maybelle down
Hey, Miss Maybelle be your hoppin' frog

Hmmm, Miss Maybelle walkin' down the street
Who'd like to meet anyone fit to eat
Hey, Miss Maybelle walkin' down the street

Skinny Woman

Don't want a Skinny Woman
I don't want a Skinny Woman
Her meat don't shake
Meat don't shake
Meat

And she won't cook no breakfast
And she won't wash no clothes
All she ever do is, walk up and down
Walk up and down
Walk

I don't want a Skinny Woman
I don't want a Skinny Woman
Her meat don't shake
Meat don't shake
Meat

Lord knows I love that woman
Lord knows I love that woman
Love her to the bone
I love her to the bone
Love

See What My Buddy Done

Then I went up on the mountain, just to see what my buddy done
Then I went up on the mountain, just to see what my buddy done
Yeah, you know he shot his baby, poor boy refused to run

I asked him, was he sorry, you know the poor boy shook his head
Yeah, you know I asked him, was he sorry, poor boy shook his head
Yes, said, "The way she up and treat me, I believe she should've been dead"

Said, "Now you in trouble." That didn't seem to bother his mind
Yes, "Now you in trouble." That didn't seem to bother his mind
Say, "I shot my baby. I believe I can do my time"

Poor Boy

Poor boy and I'm a long way from home
Poor boy and I'm a long ways from home
Poor boy and I'm a long way from home
World can't do me no

Babe, I can't stay here long
No, Lord, Lord, Lord
World can't do me no harm
Poor boy and I'm a long way from home
World can't do me no

My baby, she's dead and gone
My baby, she's dead and gone
World can't do me no

Poor Black Mattie

Poor Black Mattie ain't got a change in clothes
Girl got drunk, close that door

Poor Black Mattie ain't got change o' clothes
Girl got drunk, throwed her clothes outdoor


Goin' to Memphis, see the World's Fair

Reason I'm goin', baby, there

Goin' to Memphis, see the World's Fair

Reason I'm goin', know my baby there


Need no heater fireplace by my bed
Women I got cherry red
Need no heater fireplace by my bed

Woman I got, keep me cherry red

Woman I got, keep me cherry red
