Old Rounders Blues Songtext
von Blind Lemon Jefferson

(Baby, listen a-here:
I was wicked all last night and the night before.
I believe I′ll go out tonight and get wicked some more. Woo-hoo)

I ain't gonna marry, ain′t no need of settlin' down
Ain't goin′ to marry, ain′t gon' settle down
I′m gonna stay like I am, gonna ride from town to town


There's a house over yonder painted all over in green
There′s a house over yonder painted all over in green
Some of the finest young women there a man most ever seen

I'm goin′ into town, talk with that chief police
I'm goin' into town, talk with that chief police
Tell him my good gal done quit me and I can′t let her see no peace

My home′s in Oklahoma, I ain't got no business here
My home′s in Oklahoma, I ain't got no business here
I′m just stoppin' ′round to have drink with a brand new gal

I went home last night, fell down on my bed
I went home last night and I fell down on my bed
I got to dreamin' so, I was fallin' all out my bed
