Booster Blues

Booster Blues - Blind Lemon Jefferson

My right foot itches: something going on wrong

My right foot itches: something going on wrong

My right foot itching me: and I just can't stay here long

I thought I'd write: but it's the best to telephone

I thought I'd write: but it's the best to telephone

For that fast mail train: can carry your sugar so far from home

Girl I can't live right: ain't going to try no more

Girl I can't live right: ain't going to try no more

This woman's left town: and she ain't coming back no

More

I went to the depot: and I set my suitcase down

I went to the depot: and I set my suitcase down

I thought about my baby: and tears come rolling down

I said ticket agent: how long your train been gone

I said ticket agent: how long your train been gone

Say yon go the train: that this fair brown left here on

I couldn't buy me no ticket: but I walked on to the door

I couldn't buy me no ticket: but I walked on to the door

Well my baby left town: she ain't coming here no more

I got up this morning: my sure-enough on my mind

I got up this morning: my sure-enough on my mind

I had to raise a conversation with the landlady: to keep from crying

Excuse me woman: I won't say that no more

Excuse me woman: I won't say that no more

I'm fixing to leave town: and hang crepe on your door
