Lyrics M & O Blues / Willie Brown - Charlie Patton

M & O Blues / Willie Brown

I leave here I’m going to catch that M&O
Now when I leave here I’m going to catch that M&O
I’m going way down south where I ain’t never been before
Once I had a notion, Lord, and I believe I will
Once I had a notion, Lord, and I believe I will
I’m going to build me a mansion out on Decatur Hill
Now it’s all of you men ought to be ashamed of yourself
It is all of you men ought to be ashamed of yourself
Going around swearing before God you got a poor woman by yourself
I started to kill my woman till she laid down across the bed
I started to kill my woman till she laid down across the bed
And she looked so ambitious till I took back everything I said
And I asked her how about it, Lord, and she said «All right»
And I asked her how about it, Lord, and she said «All right»
But she never showed up at the shack last night
