Death Bed Blues Lyrics

Texas Alexander Death Bed Blues

Mmmmm, mmmmmm, mmmmm w/guitar for 8 bars

Mama's dead, mama's dead, papa's gone astray
You left me in this world, nothin' but her face (2)

Mama told me, told me, when she was on her bed a-dyin'
Mama told me, told me, on her bed a-dyin'
Says, these fast-life women surely get you down

Mmmmm, mmmmm, mmmm w/guitar
Says, these fast-life women surely get you down

I'm gonna buy me a rubber, great big rubber ball (2)
I'm gonna kill my woman just to see her fall
