Shorty George Blues |
| Well-a Shorty George, he ain’t no friend of mine |
| Well-a Shorty George, he ain’t no friend of mine |
| He’s taken all the women and left the men behind |
| Well-a Shorty George, he done been here and gone |
| Yes, Shorty George, he done been here and gone |
| Lord he left many a poor man a great long way from home |
| Well my baby caught the Katy, I caught the Santa Fee |
| Well she caught the Katy, I caught the Santa Fee |
| Well, you can’t quit me, baby, can’t you see |
| Well I went to Galveston, work on the Mallory Line |
| Went to Galveston, Lord on the Mallory Line |
| Babe you can’t quit me, ain’t no use tryin' |
| Shorty George, travelin' through the land |
| Shorty George, he’s travelin' through the land |
| Always looking to pick some woman’s poor man |
| When I get back to Dallas, I’m gonna walk and tell |
| When I get back to Dallas, gonna walk and tell |
| That the Fort Bend Bottom is a burning hell |
