Stop And Listen Blues

Stop And Listen Blues - Mississippi Sheiks

Everday have been there

Long old lonesome day

Now don't ya a-hear me talkin pretty mama

Everday have been

Long old lonesome day

Cry and scream like the blue-ooo bird

Be hoo-ooo same old way

Cryin smokestack lightning match

That bell that shine like gold

Now don't ya a-hear me talkin pretty mama

Ooh smokestack lightning

Bells that shine like gold

Cryin I found my baby

Layin on the coolin floor

Don't a hearse look lonesome mama

Rollin for yo do

Now don't ya a-hear me talkin pretty mama

Don't a hearse look lonesome

Rollin for you do

Cryin she's gone to you-ooo Lord

Won't be-ee-ee back no mo

Ooh stop and listen

Hear how those bells in toll

Now don't ya a-hear me talkin pretty mama

Ooh stop and listen

Hear the bell it tolls

I had a sweet little faror

But she's dead and gone

Cryin followed my baby down

To the buryin ground

Now don't ya a-hear me talkin pretty mama

I followed my baby to the buryin'ground

It was as if you mama

Standing all around you
