Blind Man Blues by Katie Crippen Lyrics

Genre: rb | Year: 1921

[Verse 1]
The blind men held a meeting once
Way  down in Tennessee
Talked  about those things they'd heard
But things that they could not see
"Girls are wearing fewer clothes each day
It  ain't doin' us no good no way"
So  they joined right in, sang those blind man blues

[Verse 2]
I ain' goin' to marry, ain' goin' to settle down, dog-gone my soul!
Ain'  goin' to marry, ain' goin' to settle down
I'm goin' to stay down here, swing these women roun'

[Verse 3]
When you think that yo' lovin' gal is true, dog-gone my soul!
When you think that yo' lovin' gal is true
Then  she's yo's, she's mine, she's somebody else's too

[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 4]
You can always tell when your gal is treatin' you mean, dog-gone my soul!
Always tell when your gal is treatin' you mean
Yo' meals ain' regular, yo' house ain' nevah clean

[Verse 5]
Big, fat women with the meat shakin' on her bones, dog-gone my soul!
Big, fat women with the meat shakin' on her bones
Ev'ry time she shakes, a skinny woman weeps an' moans
