Detroit Bound Blues Lyrics

Blind Blake Detroit Bound Blues

I'm goin' to Detroit, get myself a good job
I'm goin' to Detroit, get myself a good job
Tried to stay around here with the starvation mob

I'm goin' to get a job, up there in Mr. Ford's place
I'm goin' to get a job, up there in Mr. Ford's place
Stop these eatless days from starin' me in the face

When I start to makin' money, she don't need to come
around
When I start to makin' money, she don't need to come
around
'Cause I don't want her now, Lord. I'm Detroit bound

Because they got wild women in Detroit, that's all I want
to see
Because they got wild women in Detroit, that's all I want
to see
Wild women and bad whisky would make a fool out of me
