Yellow Dog Blues

Yellow Dog Blues - Louis Armstrong

E'er since miss susan johnson lost her jockey lee

There has been much excitement at more to be

You can hear her moaning night and morn

Yes I wonder where my easy rider's gone

Cable grams come of sympathy

Telegrams go of inquiry

Letters come from down in 'bam'

And everywhere that uncle sam

Has even a rural delivery

All day the phone rings but it's not for me

At last good tidings fill our hearts with glee

And this message comes all the way from tennessee

Dear sue your easy rider struck this burg today

On a south-bound rattler aside door pullman car

In seen him here an' he was on the hog

I here be is around the rider's gotta stay away

So he had to vamp it but the hike ain't far

He's gone where the southern cross the yellow dog
