Packing Trunk Blues

Packing Trunk Blues - Lead Belly/Brownie McGhee

Written by：Ledbetter

This song was made about a man and a woman

This man wanna marry the woman she didn't want him

But she

Married him anyhow for the money that he had

And she thought she got every dollar he had

But she was mistaken

But she got him pretty well bent

He's sittin' with his head hung down

She walked by and she

Says daddy what's the matter with you

He looked at

Her and here's what he said to her

I'm sittin' down here wonderin' would a matchbox hold

My clothes

I'm sittin' down here wonderin' would a matchbox hold

My clothes

I'm sittin' down here wonderin' would a matchbox hold

My clothes

She asks him says papa says what the matter with you

I don't wanna be bothered with no suitcase on my road

I don't wanna be bothered with no suitcase on my road

I don't wanna be bothered with no suitcase on my road

He said I'm goin' to see my friend and see what he

Was doin' when his wife packin' up her trunk

Ah what would you do when your baby packin' up her

Trunk

What would you do when your baby packin' up her trunk

Now what would you do when your baby packin' up her

Trunk

He looked at him and here's what he told him

Get you a half a gallon o' whiskey and get on you a

Big drunk

Get you a half a gallon o' whiskey and get on you a big

Drunk

Get you a half a gallon o' whiskey and get on you a big

Drunk

She said daughters go play the piano please for me

A little piece little girls jumped down and commenced

To play the piano
