James Alley Blues |
| Times ain’t now nothing like they used to be |
| Times ain’t now nothing like they used to be |
| Well, I tell you the truth, won’t you take my word from me |
| I’ve seen better days, but I ain’t puttin' up with these |
| I’ve seen better days, but I ain’t puttin' up with these |
| Had a lot better times with the women down in New Orleans |
| 'Cause I was born in the country she thinks I’m easy to lose |
| 'Cause I was born in the country she thinks I’m easy to lose |
| She wants to hitch me to a wagon and drive me like a mule |
| I bought her a gold ring and I paid the rent |
| I bought her a gold ring and I paid the rent |
| She wants me to wash her clothes but I got good common sense |
| I gave you sugar for sugar, you want salt for salt |
| I gave you sugar for sugar, but you want salt for salt |
| And if you can’t get along, honey, it’s your own damn fault |
| Sometimes I think you’re just too sweet to die |
| Sometimes I think you’re just too sweet to die |
| Other times I think you ought to be buried alive |
