Brown's Ferry Blues Lyrics
Brown's Ferry Blues - The Delmore Brothers/Memphis Minnie
Hard luck papa standing this ground
He was good papa let him down to down
Lord Lord nothing Brown's Ferry blues
Our good papa's in the rain
If the world was corn he couldn't buy grain
Lord Lord nothing Brown's Ferry blues
Nothing boy
Two old maids playing in the sand
Each one wishin' that the other was a man
Lord lord nothing Brown's Ferry Blues
Two old maids done lost their style
If you wanna be lucky you got to smile
Lord lord nothing Brown's Ferry Blues
Get right with son get right with
Hard luck popa counting his toes
You can smell his feet wherever he goes
Lord lord got those Brown's Ferry Blues
Hard luck popa can't do his stiff
Trouble with him he's been too rough
Lord lord got those Brown's Ferry Blues
Yeah man step up and go
Early to bed and early to rise
And your girl goes out with other guys
Lord lord nothing Brown's Ferry Blues
If you don't believe me try it yourself
I tried it but I got left
Lord lord nothing Brown's Ferry Blues
I got garling compline gay
She got a boy that calling pawl
Lord lord nothing Brown's Ferry Blues
I know smoking I don't choose
I don't go with the gaze and do
Lord lord nothing Brown's Ferry Blues
