Jungle Man Blues Songtext
von Peetie Wheatstraw

I ain′t nothin' but a hobo
Want somebody to help me car′ my load
I said, I ain't nothin' but a hobo
Want somebody to help me car′ my load
I have traveled lonesome road
Ooh well well, until it have made my shoulders sore

Well now, I been in the jungles
Three long nights and days
I have been in the jungles
Three long nights and days
But I can′t find no one
Ooh well well, now to help me on my way


I'm gonna keep on traveling
Until I can find some work to do
I′m going to keep on traveling
Until I can find some work to do
Because the woman don't mine, tellin′ you
Ooh well well, "Buddy, I don't want you"

Now, one of these days
I won′t be no jungle man
I said, one of these days
I won't be no jungle man
When I will be to the place
Ooh well well, I won't have to go from hand to hand

Well, I have traveled, people
To do the best I can
I said, I have traveled, people
To do the best I can
But after all, Ooh well well
I think I′m a lucky man
