It Won't Be Long Songtext
von Charley Patton

I believe sweet mama going to do like she say, babe
Lord, I believe sweet mama going to do like she say
Going to cook my supper, Lord, put me in her bed

You ever go to Memphis, stop by Minglewood, baby
You ever go to Memphis, stop by Minglewood, baby
You, Memphis women don′t mean no man no good

She's got a man on her man, got a kid on her kid, baby
She′s got a man on her man, got a kid on her kid, baby
Done got so bold, Lord, won't keep it hid


Ah, all right, ain't going to be here long, baby
Ah, all right, ain′t going to be here long, baby
Ah, all right, ain′t going to be here long

I believe sweet mama sure was kind to me, baby
I believe sweet mama sure was kind to me, baby
She's up at night like a police on his beat

I′ll tell you something, keep it to yourself baby
I'm gonna tell you something, keep it to yourself baby
Please, don′t tell your husband, Lord, and no one else

She's got a long tall woman, tall like a cherry tree, baby
She′s got a long tall woman, tall like a cherry tree, baby
She gets up 'fore day and she puts that thing on me
