James Alley Lyrics
James Alley Blues - Richard "Rabbit" Brown
Lyrics by：Brown
Times ain't now nothing like they used to be
Oh times ain't now nothing like they used to be
And I'm tellin' you all the truth oh take it for me
I done seen better days but I'm puttin' up with these
I done seen better days but I'm puttin' up with these
I been havin' a much better time with
These girls now I'm so hard to please
'Cause I was born in the country
She thinks I'm easy to rule
'Cause I was born in the country
She thinks I'm easy to rule
She try to hitch me to her wagon
She want to drive me like a mule
You know I bought some groceries and I paid the rent
Yes I buy some groceries and I pay the rent
She try to make me wash her clothes
But I got good common sense
I said if you don't want me
Why don't you tell me so
You know if you don't want me
Why don't you tell me so
Because it ain't like a man that ain't got nowhere to go
I've been givin' you sugar for sugar
Let you get salt for salt
I'll give you sugar for sugar
Let you get salt for salt
And if you can't get 'long with me
Well it's your own fault
How you wanted me to love you
And you treat me mean
How do you want me to love you
You keep on treatin' me mean
You're my daily thought and my nightly dream
Sometimes I think that you too sweet to die
Sometimes I think that you too sweet to die
And another time I think you oughta be buried alive
