22/20 Blues |
| Oh, Mr. Crest, Mr. Crest |
| How in the world you |
| Expect for me to rest? |
| Oh, Mr. Crest, Mr. Crest |
| How in the world you |
| Expect for me to rest? |
| You’ve got my 22−20 |
| Layin' up across my breast |
| Oh, if I send for my baby |
| An she act a fool |
| An she don’t never come |
| If I send for my baby |
| She act a fool |
| An she don’t never come |
| All the doctors in New York City |
| I declare, they can’t help her none |
| You know, sometimes she gets unruly |
| An she act like she just don’t wanna do |
| Sometimes she gets unruly |
| An she act like she just don’t wanna — |
| But I get my 22−20 |
| I cut that woman half in two |
| Oh, your.38 Special |
| Buddy, it’s most too light |
| Your .38 Special |
| Buddy, it’s most too light |
| But my 22−20 |
| Will make ev’rything, alright |
| Ah-or, your .44−40 |
| Buddy, it’ll do very well |
| Your .44−40 |
| Buddy, it’ll do very well |
| But my .22−20 |
| I declare you, it’s a-burnin' hell |
| I was stranded on the highway-hi |
| With my 22−20 in my — |
| I was standin' on the highway |
| With my 22−20 in my — |
| They got me 'cussed for murder |
| I declare, I never have harmed a man |
| Lord, oh I measured my gun |
| An it’s just a-long as my right arm |
| I measured my gun |
| An it’s just a-long as my right — |
| I’m gon' raise me some sand |
| And back down the road, I declare |
