Long Lonesome Blues 2472-1 by Blind Lemon Jefferson Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I walked from Dallas, I walked to Witchita Falls
I say I walked from Dallas, I walked to Witchita Falls
After I lost my sugar, that was no walk at all

[Verse 2]
Some women see you comin', man, they go get their rocker chair
Women see you comin', go get their rocker chair
"I wanna fool this man and make out he's welcome here"

[Verse 3]
So cold in China, the birds can hardly sing
So cold in China, the birds can hardly sing
You didn't make me mad 'til you soak my diamond ring

[Verse 4]
Hey, mama, mama, papa, papa 'deed double do love you, doggone it
Somebody’s talkin' to you, mama, papa 'deed double do love you
What you cryin' 'bout, baby? Papa don't care what you do

[Verse 5]
Well I know my baby, she gon' jump and shout
I say I know my baby, she gon' jump and shout
When she gets the letter, Lemon has rolled them few days out
[Verse 6]
Woman, if you don't love me, just be frank and tell me so
I say if you don't love me, be frank and tell me so
So I can leave your town and hang crepe on your door

[Verse 7]
Said baby, what's the matter? Papa Lemon can't get no mail
Said baby, what's the matter? Papa Lemon can't get no mail
Mama, dreamt last night, fool, a black cat's crossed your trail

[Verse 8]
I said fair brown, tell me where'd you stay last night?
Said fair brown, where'd you stay last night?
Your hair's all down, you know you ain't talkin' right
