Mean Old ’Frisco Blues

[Verse 1]
Well that mean old, old 'Frisco
And that lowdown Santa Fe
Yes, that mean old 'Frisco
Low down Santa Fe
Done took my babe away
Lord, and blowed back out on me

[Verse 2]
Well my mama, she done told me
And my papa told me too
Yes, my mama told me
Papa told me too
"Son, every woman grin in your face
Lord, she ain't no friend of you"

[Verse 3]
Lord, I wonder
Do she ever think of me
Lord, I wonder
Do she ever think of me
Well I wonder, I wonder
Will my babe come back to me?

[Verse 4]
Well my stand at, lord, look at
Watchin' that southern whistle blow
Yes I stand and look at
Watchin' that southern whistle blow
Well she did catch that southern
Lord now, where did the woman go?

[Verse 5]
Lord, ain't go no special ride a-here
Lord, ain't go no special ride a-here
I might leave, 'cause I don't feel welcome here
