Barbecue Blues |
| Yeah, woke up this morning, 'twixt midnight and day |
| Yeah, woke up this morning gal, 'twixt midnight and day |
| Yes, I reached over to the pillow where my good gal used to lay |
| I know I’m not good‑lookin', my teeth don’t shine like pearls |
| Yeah, I’m not good‑lookin', teeth don’t shine like pearls |
| Yeah, so glad good looks don’t take you through this world |
| Yeah, beside my jumpin' mama, I’m her overhaul |
| Yeah, beside my jumpin' mama, I’m her overhaul |
| Yeah, my gal done quit me, god knows she had it all |
| Yeah, I’m gonna tell you mama, lord god I’ll tell you true |
| Yeah, gonna tell you mama, lord I’ll tell you true |
| Well if you don’t want me, it’s a cinch I don’t want you |
| Yeah, you ever dream lucky, wake up cold in hand |
| Yeah, you ever dream lucky, wake up cold in hand |
| Yeah, that’s a mighty true sign your gal got some other man |
| Yeah, my mama told me, yeah my daddy told me too |
| Oh well, my mama told me, yeah my daddy told me too |
