Yo Yo Blues (1929) Songtext
von Blind Lemon Jefferson

I would go yo-yoin′ but I broke my yo-yo string
I say, I would go yo-yoin' but I′ve broke my yo-yo string
I believe my baby's goin' crazy,
Losin′ her mind, Lord, the woman is goin′ insane


Don't a man feel bad when he can′t yo-yo no more
Don't a man feel bad when he can′t yo-yo no more
Broke my yo-yo string last night and I can't come home no more

My sugar got ways, partner, I can′t understand
My sugar got ways, partner, I can't understand
Leave me home in my bed, go yo-yo with some other man

I love my yo-yo better than anything I know
Man, I love my yo-yo better than anything I know
I'm feelin′ funny and foolish, I can′t shake that thing no more
