Luke Jordan Church Bells Blues
Children's in the pulpit : mama trying to learn the
Psalms
Now that lowdown dirty deacon : done stole my gal and
gone
Woke up this morning : the family had the weary blues
Poked my head over in the corner : poor grandmammy had
them too
I did more for you woman : than the good Lord had ever
done
Went out town bought you good hair : and the Lord
hadn't give you none
You don't like your daddy : you got no right to
carrying a stole
Hand me back that wig I bought you : mama let your
doggone head go bald
But then I promised the good Lord : partner not to dig
no coal
I'm going to hang around the country : and try to sell
some jellyroll
Some men is crave for yellow women : some men like the
teasing brown
I'm a stranger in town mama : figuring on going the
whole way down
She squawk about my supper : she kicked me outdoors
She had a nerve to ask me : would a matchbox hold my
clothes
