Mean Jumper Blues Songtext
von Blind Lemon Jefferson

I feel like jumping through the keyhole in your door
I say, I feel like jumping through the keyhole in your door
If you jump this time, baby, you won′t jump no more

I feel like falling from treetops to the ground
I say, I feel like falling from treetops to the ground
My rider's got a mean joker and he don′t allow me around


I go there early in the morning, and I goes there late at night
I go there early in the morning, and I goes there late at night
Don't care how late I goes there, he have never turned out his light

I believe he's lookin′ for me, he′s up all hours at night
I believe he's lookin′ for me, he's up all hours at night
She used to be my rider and he ain′t treatin' her right

I met this joker one morning, he was out on the outer edge of town
I met this joker one morning, he was out on the outer edge of town
I had to talk and plead for to keep him from blowin′ me down
