Bob Lee Junior Blues by Memphis Jug Band
Performed by
Memphis Jug BandBob Lee Junior Blues Lyrics
I can't sleep for dreamin', I can't stay awake for tryin'
I can't sleep for dreamin', can't stay awake for tryin'
That man I'm lovin', he's trouble all the time
Wish my man could holler like Bob Lee Junior does
Wish my man could holler like Bob Lee Junior does
I would follow my daddy most everywhere he goes
And I asked the conductor "let me ride the blinds"
I asked the conductor "let me ride your blinds"
He said, "buy you a ticket, this [?] train ain't mine"
Oh, I hate the train that take my man away
I hate the train that take my man away
But the same train carry him gonna bring him back someday
