Southern Woman Blues Songtext
von Blind Lemon Jefferson

Way down south, you oughta see the women shimmy and shake
I say, away down south, you oughta see the women shimmy and shake
Got a new way to wiggle, make a weak man break his neck

Pure fat meat and greens and I mean that they really can cook
Pure fat meat and greens and I mean that they really can cook
Makin′ jelly roll, and I mean it's out the book

I was down south and full of my whiskey cup
And when I was down south, full of my whiskey cup
Just lookin′ at them women makes me want to get my gage up


Southern women, man, they's hard to beat
I said Southern women sure is hard to beat
Ain't so easy to get along with but, Lord, so sweet

I′m goin′ down South and I believe I'll take my hook
Well, I′m goin' down South and I believe I′ll carry my hook
I'm gon′ angle and fish these Southern
women just to declare it's out the book

Me and my sugar, soppin' out the bowl
I said me and my sugar, soppin′ out the bowl
I would go to fishin′, mama. I done broke my pole
