Black Horse Blues by Blind Lemon Jefferson Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Tell me, what time do the trains come through your town?
I wanna know, what time do the trains come through your town?
I wanna laugh and talk with a long-haired teasin' brown

[Verse 2]
One goes south at 8:00, and it's one goes north at 9:00
One goes south at 8:00, it's one goes north at 9:00
I got a hour to talk with that long-haired brown of mine

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Go and get my black horse, and saddle up my gray mare
Go get my black horse, and saddle up my gray mare
I'm goin' off to my good gal, she's in the world somewhere

[Verse 4]
I can't count the times that I stole aside and cried
I can't count the times I stole aside and cried
Sugar, the blues ain't on me, but things ain't goin' on right
