Joe Turner Blues Lyrics

Mississippi John Hurt Joe Turner Blues

Joe Turner is a man I do despise
Joe Turner, going 'round trying to men's wives

Joe Turner, drove him from my door
Joe Turner, drove him from my door
Hope to God that he won't come back no more

Policeman, you better not let him 'round
Policeman, you better not let him 'round
If you do, I'm sure gonna shoot him down

Joe Turner, a man I do despise
Joe Turner, a man I do despise
Going 'round trying to men's wives

I left Joe Turner standing in my door
I left Joe Turner
He may steal my good girl, all I know

Joe Turner, drove him from my door
I drove Joe Turner, drove him my door
May steal my good girl, all I know
