One Dime Blues

One Dime Blues - Blind Lemon Jefferson/Blind Blake

Written by：Blind Lemon Jefferson

I'm broke and ain't got a dime

I'm broke and I ain't got a dime

I'm broke ain't got a dime

Everybody gets his hard luck sometime

I was standin' on east cairo street one day

I was standing on east cairo street one day

Standing on east cairo street one day

One dime was all I had

Mama don't treat your daughter mean

Mama don't treat your daughter mean

Mama don't treat your daughter mean

That's the meanest woman a man most ever seen

You want your friend to be bad like Jesse James

You want your friend to be bad like Jesse James

You want your friend to be bad like Jesse James

Get two six shooters highway some passenger train

One dime was all I had

One dime was all I had

One dime was all I had

Tryin' to be a sportin' lad

I bought that morning news Lord

I bought that morning news

I bought that morning news

Then I bought a cigar too
