Packing Trunk Blues Lyrics
Packing Trunk Blues - Lead Belly
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
