Standing On The Corner Blues by Ozie McPherson Lyrics

Genre: pop | Year: 1926

[Verse 1]
Standing on the corner, I didn't mean a bit of harm
Standing on the corner, I didn't mean a bit of harm
Along came my Johnny with another woman on his arm

[Verse 2]
He [?] I tried to show him he was wrong
He [?] I tried to show him he was wrong
Before I could convince him, he left me singin' this lonesome song

[Verse 3]
Lord, Lord, Lord, what can the trouble be?
Lord, Lord, Lord, what can the trouble be?
Nobody knows my trouble but the good Lord and me

[Verse 4]
I'd rather be dying with a [?] standing at my door
I'd rather be dying with a [?] standing at my door
Than to hear my Johnny say "Woman, I don't want you no more"

[Verse 5]
But one of these days, daddy, just you wait and see
But one of thesе days, daddy, just you wait and see
You'll shed a tear for evеry day you mistreated me
