Bed Springs Blues (1929) Songtext
von Blind Lemon Jefferson

Got something to tell you, make the hair rise on your head
I′ve got somethin' to tell you, make the hair rise on your head
Got a new way of gettin′ down, make the springs tremble on your bed


My gal got a new way of tremblin'
down, make a crazy man leave his home
Got a new way of tremblin' down make, a crazy man leave his home
When she grabs you and turns you loose,
makes the flesh tremble on your bones

(Tell me, why do them springs tremble so on your bed, baby?)

Well, my gal′s got something at home that I sure do lack
Well, my gal′s got something at home that I sure do lack
A soft foldin' bed, the cover all right back

Don′t blame me mama for talkin' out my head
I say, don′t blame me mama, talking out my head
I'm worried about the movements you′ve
got and those springs tremblin' on your bed
