Downtown Blues

Downtown Blues - Frank Stokes

Hey listen mama

The world is done gone away

Uh listen mama

The world is done gone away

I'm got a bad luck deal

Give me trouble every day

And I'm going I'm going

Pin up black tape on your door

And I'm going I'm going

Pin up black tape on your door

Tell your man ain't dead

Just ain't coming to your house no more

And I'm going downtown

Going to stay around there till dark

And I'm going downtown

Going to stay around there till dark

I don't want no trouble

Don't want you to drive off

Now when you lay down at night

Lit out early try to take your rest

Now when you lay down at night

Lit out early try to take your rest

You'll get a couple phone calls

Wake up and try to do your best

I'm got a gal in the country

I'm got two that stays in town

I'm got a gal in the country

I'm got two that stays in town

Reason I can fill it so careful

Because nar' of them don't throw me down
