Frank Stokes Downtown Blues
Hey listen mama : the world is done gone away
I'm got a bad‑luck deal : give me trouble every day
And I'm going I'm going : pin up black tape on your door
Tell your man ain't dead : just ain't coming to your
house no more
And I'm going downtown : going to stay around there till
dark
I don't want no trouble : don't want you to drive off
Now when you lay down at night : lit out early try to
take your rest
You'll get a couple phone calls : wake up and try to do
your best
I'm got a gal in the country : I'm got two that stays in
town
Reason I can fill it so careful : because nar' of them
don't throw me down
