Jefferson County Blues Lyrics

Bo Weavil Jackson Jefferson County Blues

If you wants your man keep him out of Birmingham
Because the red‑hot mama drives your dollar down

I thought I'd send her but I'd leave it at home
Oh she showed a lot of farmers boys how to right from
wrong*

If you want your brown better stay aside
I said on that train you gone off of my mind

My road seem rocky so the people do say
But I'm a driver lucky to find my way

Hot mama sit down on my knee
I got to walk them down the city how you got it up for
me

I said being in Alabama : meanest place I know
Because I'm going up the country : mama how bad I feel
