Hookworm Blues Lyrics

Blind Blake Hookworm Blues

Hookworm in your body : and your food don't do you no
good
Same way with a rounder : come in a nice neighborhood

Dirty old hookworm : got into my room
Causes me to walk : groan and moan

Man like a hookworm : got a hold to my baby
He got to *point it fast* : people and I don't mean maybe

Never can tell : what a hookworm man will do
Take your baby : and make her stop loving you

I'm going to leave my baby : and let her have her way
She want me back some day : when he throws her down

Mmm : mmm
Her man like a hookworm : taking a hold to my babe
