Salt Lake City Blues

Salt Lake City Blues (Take 1) - Papa Charlie Jackson

Sweet woman left me lord and I don't know why

My sweet woman left me lord and I don't know why

So I better start to thinkin''cause it's no use babe to cry

Lord a woman is one thing you can't understand

Lord a woman is one thing you can't understand

When you think she's lovin' you she's quittin' you for some other man

Goin' back to salt lake city here ain't no place for me

Goin' back to salt lake city ain't no place for me

Goin' back to salt lake city where the women won't let me be

You have a wife in the morning lord a wife at night

You have a wife in the morning lord a wife at night

And always a substitute to take her place when she's out of sight

When a man's out gamblin' he must expect to lose

When a man's out gamblin' he must expect to lose

That's the reason why I've got the salt lake city blues

I'm leaving here tonight if I have to ride the blinds

I'm leaving here tonight if I have to ride the blinds

Take a freight train special tell the engineer lose no time

Now the jinx all on me all on this town

Now the jinx all on me all over this town

That's the reason why I'm salt lake city bound
