Lorenzo Blues

Lorenzo Blues - Skip James

I wonder has anybody here

Seen my lovin' Lorenzo today

I wonder has anybody here

Seen my lovin' Lorenzo today

You know we had a nice time Christmas

But she left me on New Year's Day

Oh you got to know her

When you see her

'Cause she's so different

From any other girl

Oh you've got to know her

When you see her

From any other girl

Because she's made up

Like a Coke-Cola bottle

An she got a likeness

It's outta this world alright

You know she's stutters in her speech

An she wiggle and she wobble

When she walk

She's stuttered in her speech

An she wiggle an a-wobble

When she walk

Yes an she got three gold teeth

An she got deep dimples in her jaw yeah

I say 'Hello Lorenzo Lorenzo

How in the world come you treat me this-a-way '

I say 'Lorenzo Lorenzo

How in the world come you treat me this-a-way '

Darling you know that you was gonna leave me

But you didn't tell me you was goin' to stay

Now if I can make a half a million

I declare I'm 'on give it all to the hoodoo man

I declare if I can make a half a million

I'm 'on give it all to the hoodoo man

Just after he promise me that he will

Bring my lovin' Lorenzo back home to me again

An I want her back ho-oh-ome to me again
