Lock And Key Blues

Springtime coming, and the grass all growin' green
I said, springtime coming, and the grass all growin' green
Says, my time has come, but the blues don't worry me

There's so many women, there's so many different kinds
There's so many women, and there's so many different kinds
When one quit me, it sure don't worry my mind

My mama give me a lock and my papa give me the key
I said, my mama give me a lock and my papa give me the key
And I sure know how to lock the blues off a'me

Said, a brownskind woman, make a man leave his home
I said, a brownskind woman will make a man leave his home
Then a jet black woman make a gum tree bear pecans

I got Northern women, I got Southern women too
I got Northern women, I got southern women too
I ain't gonna tell these Northern women what them Southern women can do
