Charley Patton It Won't Be Long
I believe sweet mama : going to do like she say
Going to cook my supper : Lord put me in her bed
You ever go to Memphis : stop by Minglewood
You Memphis women : don't mean no man no good
She's got a man on her man : got a kid on her kid
Done got so bold : Lord won't keep it hid
Ah all right : ain't going to be here long
I believe sweet mama : sure was kind to me
She's up at night : like a police on his beat
I'll tell you something : keep it to yourself
Please don't tell your husband : Lord and no one else
[She's, got] a long tall woman : tall like a cherry
tree
She gets up before day : and she puts that thing on me
