Uncle Sam Blues by Edna Hicks Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Let me tell you folks what Uncle Sam has done to me
Let me tell you folks what Uncle Sam has done to me
He took my sweet husband, come back and got my used-to-be

[Verse 2]
Uncle Sam, he thought he was so doggone cute
Uncle Sam, he thought he was so doggone cute
He took my daddy out of a box-back and put him in a khaki suit

[Verse 3]
Gonna sit down and write a letter to my Uncle Sam
Gonna sit down and write a letter to my Uncle Sam
Tell him "War is over, send me back my honey man"

[Verse 4]
Girls, you better stop your man from smiling in my face
Girls, you better stop your man from smiling in my face
Wake up one these mornings, Edna B. done took your place

[Verse 5]
I got ways like the devil, born in a lion's den
Got ways like the devil, born in a lion's den
My chief occupation: takin' monkey women's men
