Match Box Blues (Paramount Version, Matrix 4446)

[Verse 1]
I'm standin' here, wonderin', will a match box hold my clothes?
I'm standin' here, wonderin', will a match box hold my clothes?
I ain't got so many matches but I got so far to go

[Verse 2]
I said fair brown, who may manager be?
Oh, mama, who may your manager be?
[We've had/Reason I ask] so many questions, can't you make 'rangements for me?

[Verse 3]
I got a girl 'cross town, she crochet all the time
I got a girl 'cross town, crochets all the time
Mama, if you don't quit crochetin', you gon' lose your mind

[Verse 4]
I can't count the time I stole away and cried
Can't count the time I stole away and cried
Sugar, the blues ain't on me, but things ain't goin' on right

[Verse 5]
If you want your lover, you bеtter pin her to your side
I say you want your baby, pin hеr to your side
If she flags my train, papa Lemon's gon' let her ride

[Verse 6]
I ain't seen my good gal in three long weeks today
Ain't seen my good gal in three long weeks today
Said it's been so long, seem like my heart gon' break

[Verse 7]
Now excuse me, mama, from knockin' on your door
Well excuse me, mama, from knockin' on your door
My mind don't change, I'll never knock here no more
