Fat Mouth Blues Songtext
von Papa Charlie Jackson

Tell me, tell me, please, has anybody seen my brown?
Whyn′t you tell me, tell me, please, has anybody seen my brown?
She used to love me 'til a fatmouth blew in town

She′s a long tall woman with coal-black curly hair
She's a long tall woman with coal-black curly hair
With one gold tooth, then you'll know her anywhere

She used to be mine, but a fatmouth, he′s got her now
She used to be mine, but a fatmouth, he′s got her now
That's a dirty mistreater, didn′t mean me no good nohow


"Spoken": Yes, she didn't mean me no good. Boys,
I′m puttin' out there:
Some of them women out there that don′t mean
a man any good, worthwhile foolin' around with

I'm gonna love you, mama, ′til my whiskers touch the ground
I′m gonna love you, mama, 'til my whiskers touch the ground
When you die, I′m gon' keep on, hangin′ around

I bought all her clothes, I bought her a diamond ring
I bought all her clothes, I bought her a diamond ring
Then 'long come a fatmouth, beat me shakin′ that thing

"Spoken": Yes, boys, he really beat me. Aw, he shook that thing
