Hangman's Blues

Hangman's Blues - Blind Lemon Jefferson

Hey hey mama

That ride has come and gone

I say hey hey mama

That ride has come and gone

I just can't see what

In the world is you waiting on

I've done met a mama

She ain't long in or tall

I say I got another mama

She ain't long in or tall

But to tell you the truth

Man she's as soft as a butter ball

She got every movement

From her head down to her toe

She got every movement

From her head down to her toe

And she can break in on the dollar

Man busting it where she goes

She was my best mama

But she wouldn't treat me right

I said she was my best mama

But she wouldn't treat me right

She wouldn't do nothing

But barrelhouse all night long

I'm gonna get a mama

I mean with lots of buck

I'm gonna get a mama

I mean with lots of buck

I want to be gone mama

So I can change my luck

Be gone mama be gone
