Honey Blues by Lottie Kimbrough Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Honey, I've tried so hard to treat you right
I'm packing my trunk and leaving town tonight
It looks mighty cloudy, say, but it ain't gon' rain
Goodbye, honey, if I don't see you again

[Instrumental Break]
Step on it, Pruitt!

[Verse 2]
My mama told me, papa told me too
"Don't let no one man make no fool of you"
By being so young, so foolish, and so green
Honey, that's why you treated me so mean

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
'Cause your hair is curly and you ain't no hand-me-down
Don't think I'll stay and let you dog me 'round
[Banjo Solo]

[Verse 4]
Yes, you're three times seven and knows what you want to do
I'm leaving you now with the troubled honey blues
