Fannin Street |
My mama told me |
My sister too |
Said, 'The Shreveport women, son, |
Will be the death of you' |
Said to my mama, |
'Mama, you don’t know |
If the Fannin Street women gonna kill me |
Well, you might as well let me go' |
Follow me down, |
Follow me down, |
Follow me down |
By Mr Tom Hughes town |
I went to my mama |
Fell down on my knees |
Said, 'Oh, mama, won’t you forgive me, please?' |
She started to cry |
Follow me down, |
Follow me down, |
Follow me down |
By Mr Tom Hughes town |
I got a woman |
Lives on Stony Hill |
She used to sit down and gamble with |
Mr Buffalo Bill |
He’s a bad man |
You got a woman |
Gamble with Buffalo Bill |
Two chances in one, babe, |
You ain’t done got killed |
She started to cry |
Follow me down, |
Follow me down, |
Follow me down |
By Mr Tom Hughes town |
I got a woman |
Lives back of the jail |
Makes an honest livin' |
By the wigglin' of her tail |
Cry for me |
Anyone should ask you |
Who made up this song |
Tell 'em Huddie Ledbetter |
Done been here and gone |
Follow me down, |
Follow me down, |
Follow me down |
By Mr Tom Hughes town |
