It Won't Be Long Lyrics

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
