Broke Down the Engine Blues |
| Feel like a broke-down engine, ain’t got no drivin' wheel |
| Feel like a broke-down engine, ain’t got no drivin' wheel |
| You all been down and lonesome, you know just how a poor man feels |
| Been shooting craps and gambling, momma, and I done got broke |
| Been shooting craps and gambling, momma, and I done got broke |
| I done pawned my pistol, baby, my best clothes been sold |
| Lordy, Lord, Lordy, Lord, Lordy, Lord, Lordy, Lord |
| Lordy, Lord |
| I went down in my praying ground, fell on my bended knees |
| I went down in my praying ground, fell on my bended knees |
| I ain’t cryin' for no religion, Lord, give me back my good gal please |
| If you give me back my baby, I won’t worry you no more |
| Give me back my baby, I won’t worry you no more |
| Don’t have to put her in my house, Lordy, just lead her to my door |
| Can’t you hear me, baby, rappin' on your door? |
| Can’t you hear me, baby, rappin' on your door? |
| Now you hear me tappin', tappin' across your floor |
| Feel like a broke-down engine, ain’t got no drive at all |
| Feel like a broke-down engine, ain’t got no drive at all |
| What make me love my woman, she can really do the Georgia Crawl |
| Feel like a broke-down engine, ain’t got no whistle or bell |
| Feel like a broke-down engine, ain’t got no whistle or bell |
| If you’re a real hot momma, come take away Daddy’s weeping spell |
