Up The Way Bound Take 2 by Papa Charlie Jackson Lyrics

Genre: rb | 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
But 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
'Cause she's brownskin to death, Lord, a teasin' brown
[Verse 5]
Oh, ske dat you dirty, ske dat dat dat dat dat
Oh, ske dat you dirty, ske dat dat scat scat scat
'Cause somebody knows where my baby's at

[Verse 6]
Gonna grab me a train, beat it on up the line
Gonna grab mе a train, beat it on up the line
I'm gon' ridе it until I find that good-doin' mama of mine

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

Dee dee dow dow-dow, dee-dee dow dow-dee-dow-dow
Dee dow-dow dow dee-dow, dee-dee dow dow-dow dow
Dee dow-dow dow dow-dow, dow dow dow-dow dow
