The doctor say he can help me
I don’t believe it’s true
Ain’t got no medicine
To take away the blues
Doctor, doctor
Won’t you help me please
Well the blues
Is an achin’ old heart disease

Yes your man gets personal
Won’t you have your fun
Just come on to Friar Point, mama
Barrelhouse all night long
Yes I got women in Vicksburg
Clean on into Tennessee
But my Friar Point rider now
Harps all over me
I ain’t gonna state no color but
Her front teeth are crowned with gold
She got a mortgage on my body
Lien on my soul
Yes I’m goin’ down to Rosedale
Gonna take my rider by my side
We can still barrelhouse baby
Cuz it’s on the riverside
Well you can squeeze my lemon
‘Til the juice runs down my leg
But I’m goin’ back to Chattanooga
If I be rockin’ to my head

I Didn’t Mean No Trouble

Killed that old gray mule
Burned down that white man’s barn
I didn’t mean no trouble
I did not mean no harm
Trouble in mind babe
Well I been ‘buked and scorned
Seems like I been ramblin’
Ramblin’ since the day I’s born
Some people tell me
That these old blues ain’t bad
But it’s the worst old feelin’
That I most ever had
Killed that old gray mule
Burned down that white man’s barn
I didn’t mean no trouble
I did not mean no harm

Girl I Want To

Girl I want to
Be your man
Girl I want to
But I can’t
I gotta move
I can’t slow down
Girl I’m bound to
Leave this town

Little Woman I Love

Little woman I love
She got the great long curly
Great long curly hair
But her mama and her papa, lord
Sure don’t allow me there
Sure don’t allow me
Allow me there
My little baby
She’s in some far off
In some distant land
I can see her
Findin’ her another man
Yeah she’ll find her
Another man
My little baby
She lives down Atlanta
Lives down Atlanta way
Would go to see her
But the Greyhounds run ‘fore day
Well they run now
Run ‘fore day
Little woman I love
She got the great long curly
Great long curly hair
But her mama and her papa, lord
Sure don’t allow me there
Sure don’t allow me
Allow me there
