Weary Dogs Blues Songtext
von Blind Lemon Jefferson

Oh, Lordy, how the sun do shine
Oh, Lordy, how the sun do shine
And I can′t get from Charleston, with that brownskin girl of mine

They're barkin′ in the mornin', they're barkin′ late at night
They′re barkin' in the morning, they′re barkin' late at night
My weary dogs bark so loud, it′ll take a good man's appetite

They wake me every mornin′, Lordy, with the risin' sun
They wakes me in the mornin', oh, Lordy, with the risin′ sun
My weary dogs don′t leave me, until my day's work is done


Me and my weary dogs started, we started out of Jackson Park
When me and my weary dogs started, we started out of Jackson Park
And it′s music to any good man's ears, for to hear my weary dogs bark

I can tell when it′s rainin', honey, I know when the sun gon′ shine
I can tell when it's raining, sugar, I know when the sun gon' shine
Because my weary dogs keep me posted all the time

Weary dogs in my young days, weary dogs is all I crave
Weary dogs in my young days, weary dogs is all I crave
Sometime I thinks weary dogs is goin′ to carry me to my grave

(Look out there, man, don′t let that dog bite me)
