Bo Weavil Jackson You Can't Keep No Brown
Now I woke up this morning mama : blues all around my bed
Thinking about the kinds words : that my mama had said
Now my mama's dead : so is my daddy too
That's the reason I tried to hard : to get along with you
Now where there ain't no loving : ain't no getting along
Because you'll have more trouble : honey than all the day
is long
So many days : I stoled away and cried
Poor boy has been mistreated : now I can't be satisfied
Now I'm going to write a letter : mail it in the air
Because the March wind blows : it blows news everywhere
Because I'm going up the country : won't be very long
Good gal : you can count the days I'm gone
I often tell my honey : don't have to fight
The gal that gets you : has got to try to treat you right
I'm crazy about my Jane : tell the world that I am
Because I'm going : got to sing long‑distance blues
Now you get way back : you get to ball the jack
You begin to fuss : and get your rider back
I want to see my Jane : tell the world that I do
Because I'm going I'm going : to sing long‑distance blues
