Up The Way Bound Take 1 by Papa Charlie Jackson Lyrics

Genre: pop | Year: 1926

[Verse 1]
My baby done quit me and the talk's all over town
My baby done quit me and the talk's all over town
I'm too good a man to let that talk go 'round

[Verse 2]
I'm leaving today, gonna leave this Southern town
I'm leaving today, gonna leave this Southern town
'Cause my baby caught a train that was up the way bound

[Verse 3]
I feel like jumpin' from a treetop to the ground
I feel like jumpin' from a treetop to the ground
To get a flying start and run my baby down

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]
I'm reelin' and rockin', Lawd, howlin' like a hound
I'm reelin' and rockin', Lawd, howlin' like a hound
She's brownskin to death, I say, a teasin' brown
[Verse 5]
Oh, ske dat you dirty, ske dat dat dat dat dat
Oh, ske dat you dirty, ske dat dat dat dat dat
'Cause somebody knows where my baby's at

[Verse 6]
I'mma grab me a train, beat it on up the line
Gonna grab me a train, bеat it on up the line
I'm gon' ride until I find that good-doin' woman of minе

[Outro]
Ah, do it, Ms. Brown
Come here and turn your Papa Charlie Jackson all the way around
