Fence Breakin' Yellin' Blues Songtext
von Blind Lemon Jefferson

Here come two yellin′, act like they're drunk and wild
Here come two yellin′, act like they're drunk and wild
When you're drinkin′ bad liquor, you′ll be overtaken after 'while

They must be desperadoes, I don′t know nothing else they could be
Must be desperadoes, I don't know nothin′ else they could be
Standin' on the corner,
Didn′t mean no harm, they both made a dash at me


They made a break at me, then I broke for my pocket knife
Made a break at me, broke for my pocket knife
One had me cornered off,
While the other one's talkin' about takin′ my wife

And when I went for my gun,
You oughta seen them yellers breakin′ that fence
When I went for my gun, you oughta seen them yellers break the fence
I first thought they was crazy,
But I found out they didn't have no sense

You can take my money, I mean, you can wear my best clothes
I say you can take my money, I mean, you can wear my best clothes
Lemon won′t kill you no quicker, 'cause you bothered with my jellyroll


Some people likes their sugar, I′m a fool 'bout my China tea
Some people likes their sugar, but I′m a fool 'bout my China tea
You can have all this world, but leave my honeycomb home with me
