Tishamingo Blues

I'm goin' to Tishamingo 'cause I'm sad today

I'm goin' to Tishamingo because I'm sad today

And the woman I love she done drove me away

I'm goin' to Tishamingo to have my hambone boil

I'm goin' to Tishamingo to have my hambone boil

These Atlanta women done let my hambone spoil

I woke up this morning 'tween midnight and day

I woke up this morning 'tween midnight and day

I felt for my rider she done walked away

Can't you always tell when when your good gal's gonna treat you mean

Can't you always tell when your good gal's gonna treat you mean

Your meals is un-reg'lar your house ain't never clean

You can always tell there's something goin' on wrong

You can always tell there's something goin' on wrong

When you come in your rider she's out and gone

Say when she come in she got a rag tied 'round her head

When she come in she got a rag tied 'round her head

You speak about lovin' she swear she's almost dead

Sweet mama what's on your lovin' mind

Mama sweet mama what's on your lovin' mind

You can't quit me 't ain't no need of trying

I've got a lovin' fairy she's long and tall like me

Got a lovin' fairy 'n' she's long and tall like me

I love my brownskin I don't care where she be
