Johnny Behrens Blues Lyrics

Texas Alexander Johnny Behrens Blues

When I was a sailor, sailin' on the deep blue sea (2)
Say, I learned all the women, man, them ocean ways

Says, I learned a way that every woman crave
I learned a way that every woman crave
Say, it must be a new way that really won't behave

When I was a jockey, I learned my baby how to ride
When I was a jockey, I learned her how to ride
Say, I learned her how to ride, man, from side to side

Says, I want to go home, ain't got sufficient clothes
I want to go home ain't got sufficient clothes
Said, my woman, she got mad, Lord, throwed my rags
outdoors

She left me standin', wonderin', matchbox hold my clothes
Ah, left me wonderin', matchbox hold my clothes
Say, I didn't want to be worried, Lord, with these things
no more

Mmmm, mmmmm w/guitar solo
Says, I didn't want to be worried with these things no
more
