Booker T. Blues Songtext
von Washboard Sam

I have my books in my hand, I′m going across to see Booker T
I have my books in my hand, I'm going across to see Booker T
I′m gonna get Mister so and so, teach me my ABC

He told me A is for Arthur, beginning of everything
Eve had lighted Adam, then started to swing

I have my books in my hand, I'm going across to see Booker T
I'm gonna get Mister so and so, teach me my ABC


She told me B is for Better, I had better save my dough
The way my gal was cuttin′, she swear I never know
I have my books in my hand, I′m going across to see Booker T
I'm gonna get Mister so and so, to teach me my ABC

He told me D is for Dog ____, where I always stayed
Think my gal was loving you, she′s just the other way

I have my books in my hand, I'm going across to see Booker T
I′m gonna get Mister so and so, to teach me my ABC
