Sleepy Woman Blues - Robert Petway

Well, she sleeps me in the mornin', baby, well, she sleeps me late at night
Well, she sleeps me in the mornin', baby, well, she sleeps me late at night
She sleep me so long now, little woman, I b’lieve to my soul you ain’t treatin'
me right
Sleeps me so long now, little daddy, she b’lieve to my soul I’m dead (Spoken:
Yes, yes!)
Sleep me so long now, baby, she b’lieve to her soul I’m dead
Way you treat me now, baby, I b’lieve it done gone to my head
Don’t sleep me so long, baby, 'til I can’t teach you right from wrong
Don’t sleep me so long, baby, I can not teach you right from wrong
Reason I love you now, little woman, 'cause you done been here but now you’re
gone
Yes, yes!
Play it now for 'em there, partner!
Keep on sleepin' me now, baby, oh well, you sure ain’t gonna call it right
Keep on sleepin' now, baby, oh well, you ain’t gonna call it right
Catch you sleepin' now, little woman, I said, wit' your kidman at night
