Sad News Blues - Blind Lemon Jefferson

Written by：Blind Lemon Jefferson

Spoken huh my gal musta had the lasses

Man she's actin' just like a balky mule

Hey mama

I'm gonna ship you that fella hand me

A tag over there please

I got up this morning

I sure was feelin' fine

I got up this morning and I

Sure was feeling fine

I heard a rap at the door must be that

Bear cat woman of mine

She was fussin' and she was fightin'

And actin' like a doggone fool

She was fussin' she was fightin'

And actin' like a doggone fool

And hemmin' and a hawin'

And actin' just like a balky mule

Bear cat ain't no wild cat

And he don't stay home at night

Bear cat ain't no wild cat

And he don't stay home at night

But when it comes to squabblin'

He sure can scratch and bite

I got up this mornin'

I was easin' 'cross the floor

I got up this mornin' was easin' 'cross the floor

Now my bear cat's leavin'

Me ain't gon' catch my mice no more

I was standin' on the corner

When they brought me the bear cat news

I was standin' on the corner

When they brought me them bear cat news

Now here come my bear cat mama to run me

Way with them bear cat blues
