Airy Man Blues

[Verse 1]
Now looky Mr. Bill, since you think you've been sharp
You know Mr. Lyon, he done broke your heart
Put you out, stole your good girl
Can never come back to her house no more
Now you're here tryin' to throw me down
You know you're the foolish new man in town
Keep on talkin' [?]
Say you'll never get the ten dollar bill

[Chorus]
You can keep on talking, little darling babe
I don't need no airy man
I want these browns in Illinois and Spain
To thoroughly understand
That you can bring in my wood, you can bring in my food
You can iron my shirts, you can bless my soul
You can get yourself together, you can play out with the weather
I don't need no airy man

[Verse 2]
Now there was an old lady and her husband
They just blowеd in the other day
She walkеd all out on State Street
Just to pass the time away
Said you walk into the hop shack, darling babe
And these are the words they say
You're gonna smoke a lump of hop, I'm gonna drink her tea
'Til the China bring her here for me

[Chorus]
You can keep on talking, little darling babe
I don't need no airy man
I want these browns in Illinois and Spain
To thoroughly understand
That you can bring in my wood, you can bring in my food
You can iron my shirts, you can bless my soul
You can get yourself together, you can play out with the weather
I don't need no airy man

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
You can keep on talking, little darling babe
I don't need no airy man
I want these browns in Illinois and Spain
To thoroughly understand
That you can bring in my wood, you can bring in my food
You can iron my shirts, you can bless my soul
You can get yourself together, you can play out with the weather
I don't need no airy man
