Stocking Feet Blues by Blind Lemon Jefferson Lyrics

Somebody just keep on calling me
Somebody just keep on calling me
She got hair like a mermaid on the sea

She got up this morning come a-tipping 'cross the floor
Said "Mama" in her loving stocking feet
Honey fare thee
Sweet papa fare thee well
I done all in the world I could
Trying to get along with you

Make me down a pallet on your floor
Make me down a pallet on your floor
Make it gentle and easy, make it down by your door

I can't stay away, I done cried the whole night long
I can't stay away, I've cried the whole night long
The good woman I love, she donе packed her trunk and gone

Don't mistrеat me because I'm young and wild
Don't mistreat me just because I'm young and wild
Sister, you ought to remember that you once was a child
I don't feel welcome and I don't care where I go
I don't feel welcome, I don't care where I go
The woman I love, she drove me from her door

'Fess up brown, where did you stay last night?
'Fess up brown, where did you stay last night?
Your hair's all down and you know you ain't talking right

I'm a stranger here, just come in on the train
Come in on the train
Won't some good man tell me some woman's name?
