Memphis Jug Blues Songtext
von Memphis Jug Band

Rain dropped down, dropped down travelin′ like the showers
Of rain
Rain dropped down, dropped down, mama, like the showers
Of rain
Boy, but once in awhile I think I hear my baby call my name

Play it boy! What you say!

Now she got a man on her, man, done got a kid man on her
She can kid
Now a man on her, man, done got a kid man on her she can
Kid
Hey now, kid man done got so ...mama, just cannot keep it
Hid
What kind of gal was that?


Hey don't you wish your easy roller little and cute like mine
(I said oh now, sugar baby)
Hey wish your easy roller, little and cute like mine
For everytime she walks. Lord, she reels and rocks behind
(Lordy Lordy Lord)
If I did somethin′ for you, baby, I ain't gonna do it no more
(I said oh now. sugar baby)
I did somethin' for you, baby, I ain′t gonna do it no more
...a thousand dollar woman ...

Now I, I ain′t gonna change no more
(Sugar baby. Lord)
I, I ain't gonna change no more
Hey now, babe, if you did not want me
Well if I hadn′t stuck with you, mama, you did not have no
man at all
(I said oh now, sugar baby)
I hain't stuck with you, baby, you did not have no man at all
Hey now, now baby, you must want me for to be your
lowdown dog

What′d you tell her?

Hey ahh, baby, what's the matter now? (Ah sugar baby, Lord)
Ahh hey. papa, what′s the matter now?
Hey now. now baby, you're tryin' to quit me
Mama, and you don′t know how
(Lordy Lordy Lord)


I said you ever dream lucky, boy, wake up cold in hand ...
Lord, you ever dream lucky, wake up cold in hand?
Hey now when you ain′t got a dollar
Lord, your woman's got another man (Lordy Lordy Lord)
