Down South Blues (1948) Songtext
von Muddy Waters

Well I′m goin' down south child
This weather here′s too cold

You know I'm goin' down South child
This weather here′s too cold

I gotta lay around Chicago I ain′t got change in cold


When I woke up this morning and found my baby gone
You know I woke up this morning found my baby gone

I couldn't do nothing but bury my head in home
Well I was in jail with my back turned to the wall
Well I was in jail with my back turned to the wall

Now ... is in a free world having herself a home

When I leave you this morning I′m glad to shake your hand
You know I'm leaving this morning I got to shake your hand

And I′m going back to my woman you back to your man
