One Dime blues by Blind Lemon Jefferson Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm broke and I ain't got a dime
I'm broke and I ain't got a dime
I'm broke and ain't got a dime
Everybody gets in hard luck sometime

[Verse 2]
I was standin' on East Cairo Street one day
I was standing on East Cairo Street one day
Standing on East Cairo Street one day
One dime was all I had

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
Mama, don't treat your daughter mean
Mama, don't treat your daughter mean
Mama, don't treat your daughter mean
That's the meanest woman a man most ever seen

[Verse 4]
You want your friend to be bad like
Jesse James?
You want your friend to be bad like
Jesse James?
You want your friend to be bad like
Jesse James?
Just give'm a six shooter and
Highway some passenger train
[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 5]
One dime was all I had
One dime was all I had
One dime was all I had
Tryin' to be a sportin' lad

[Verse 6]
I bought that Morning News, Lord
I bought that Morning News
I bought that Morning News
Then I bought a cigar too
