Jackson Blues Songtext
von Sonny Boy Williamson

Now when I left out of Jackson
My baby was standin′ in her do'
Now when I left out of Jackson
I rode that *M&O

Now, my baby like the Chevrolet
But I believe I′ll buy a V8 Fo'
She say, 'Is he too fast
To try to hold in the road?′

Well, I′m goin' back to Jackson
Good old Jackson, Tennessee
I can′t do no good up here
I've gotten the jinx on me


(Harmonica & guitar)

A-yon′ come my baby
I can tell by the way she walk
I wouldn't know her so well
But I can tell by the way she talks

Oh, now tell me baby
Sweet, now wha′cha want me to do?
You think that I can love you
And be yo' little doggie?

(Harmonica and guitar)


Well, mother told me, an' told me
My father he sat down an′ cried
She say, ′You too young-a-man, son
To have them many women on yo' side.
