Brownsville Blues Lyrics

Sleepy John Estes Brownsville Blues

Now I can straighten your wires : you know poor Vasser
can grind your valves
Man when I turn your motor loose : and it sure will split
the air

Now Vasser can line your wheels : you know poor Vasser
can tune your horn
Then when he set it out on the highway : you can hear
your motor hum

Now my generator is bad : and you know my lights done
stopped
And I reckon I'd better take it over to Durhamville : and
I'm going to stop at Vasser Williams' shop

Now I were raised in Lauderdale County : you know I was
schooled on Winfield Lane
Then what I made of myself : I declare it was a crying
shame

Now Brownsville is my home : and you know I ain't going
to throwed it down
Because I'm acquainted with John Law : and they won't let
me down
