Squabblin Blues Lyrics

Ed Bell Squabblin Blues

My baby done quit me talked all over town
And I'm too good a man for to let that talk go around

Take the shoes I bought her bare foots on the I say
ground
One these days : Jack Frost said he sure going to tear
you down

Now Mr Mr please spare my life
I got four little children I got one bald‑ headed wife

If I should die in the state of Arkansas
I want you to send my body home to my mother‑in‑law

Said if she don't want it baby give it to my ma
Said if my ma don't want it baby give it to my pa

Said if my pa don't want it baby give it to Abby Lee
Said if Abby don't want it say give it to my used‑to‑be

Said if she don't want it baby cast it in the sea
Then these squabbling women in Greenville : will stop
squabbling over me

Said I won't be worried with these blues no I say more
Said it's traintime now said that ring I did adore
