Joe Kirby Songtext
von Charley Patton

Said I′ll be your monkey baby, don't wanna be your dog
I said I′ll be your monkey baby, don't wanna be your dog
'Fore I stand your doggin′, I′ll stay in a hollow log

Some people say baby them Kirby blues ain't bad
Some people say now baby them Joe Kirby blues ain′t bad
Well it must not a been them Joe Kirby blues I had


Just like a doggone rabbit, lordy, got no doggone den
I'm just like a rabbit I ain′t got no doggone den
I been in trouble Lord ever since here I been

I was standing Clack's the crossroads, kissing my rider goodbye
I was standing at the crossroads, bid my rider goodbye
It blowed for the crossroad, Lord, she started to fly

Well I′m goin' where the Green River do sink down
I'm goin′ where the Green River do run down
But the woman I love Lordy, she live in Robin′ville town

Hey well well well now baby, now tell me what's on your mind
Hey just tell me now mama Lordy, tell me what′s on your mind
Well you know you got a home baby long as I got mine
