Those Dogs Of Mine Famous Cornfield Blues by Ma Rainey Lyrics

[Verse]
Looky here, people, listen to me
Believe me, I'm tellin' the truth
If your corns hurt you just like mine
You'd say these same words too
Out for a walk, I stopped to talk
Oh how my corns did burn
I had to keep on the shady side of the street
To keep out the light of the sun

[Chorus]
Oh Lord, these dogs of mine
They sure do worry me all the time
The reason why, I don't know
Sometimes I soak 'em in Sapolio
Lord, I beg to be excused
I can't wear me no sharp-toed shoes
Oh Lordy, how the sun do shine
Down onto these hounds of mine

[Chorus]
Oh Lordy, these dogs of mine
They sure do worry me all the time
The reason why, boys, I don't know
Sometimes I soak 'em in Sapolio
Lord, I beg to be excused, Lord have mercy!
I can't wear me no sharp-toed shoes
Oh Lordy, how the sun do shine
Down onto these hounds of mine
