Long Lonesome Blues 2472-2 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 Chinee, 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, sugar? Papa don't care what you do

[Verse 5]
Well I know my baby, she gonna jump and shout
Said I know my baby, she gon' jump and shout
When she gets the letter, Lemon has rolled them few days out
[Verse 7]
Would you tell me what's the matter? Baby, I can't get no mail
Baby, tell me what's the matter? Papa Lemon can't get no mail
Mama dreamt last night, son, a black cat's crossed your trail

[Verse 8]
Excuse me, baby, from knockin' on your door
Well excuse me, baby, from knockin' on your door
My mind don't change, I'll never knock here no more

[Verse 9]
I got up this morning with the blues all 'round my bed
I got up this morning, blues all 'round my bed
Fixing to eat my breakfast, the blues all in my bread
