Stop and Listen Blues

Stop And Listen Blues - Mississippi Sheiks

Ev'r day have been there

Long old lonesome day

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

Ev'r day 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 yo' 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
