Last Stage Blues Lyrics

Texas Alexander Last Stage Blues

I've been lookin' for you, days have passed and gone (2)
It seem like you oughta leave me somethin', woman, for to
travel on

My time is numbered, I can't stay here long
Ahh, my time is numbered, I can't stay here long
Says, I know you're gonna miss me, woman, when I'm dead
and gone

I wouldn't treat a dog like you people treat poor me (2)
You treat me just like a man you ain't never seen

SPOKEN: Have your way

SOLO

When mama gets to lovin', I gets in my old last stage
Oh, when she gets to lovin', gets in my last old stage
Says, I believe to my soul it's gonna carry me to my
grave

Mmmm, mmmm w/ensemble for 8 bars
Says, I believe to my soul, gonna carry me to my grave
