Johnny Behrens Blues Lyrics
Johnny Behrens Blues - Texas Alexander/Little Hat Jones
When I was a sailor sailin' on the deep blue sea
When I was a sailor sailin' on the deep blue sea
Say I learned all the women man them ocean ways
Says I learned a way that every woman crave
I learned a way that every woman crave
Say it must be a new way that really won't behave
When I was a jockey I learned my baby how to ride
When I was a jockey I learned her how to ride
Say I learned her how to ride man from side to side
Says I want to go home ain't got sufficient clothes
I want to go home ain't got sufficient clothes
Said my woman she got mad lord throwed my rags outdoors
She left me standin' wonderin' matchbox hold my clothes
Ah left me wonderin' matchbox hold my clothes
Say I didn't want to be worried lord with these things no more
Mmmm mmmmm mmmmm
Says I didn't want to be worried with these things no more
