Old Time Blues

You promised me
That you would treat me right
Now you won't do nothing
Honey, but fuss and fight

My mama, she told me
When I left my home
Son, be a good boy and leave bad women alone
Now my Mama, she's dead, Papa won't allow me home
I ain't got nobody teach me right from wrong

I was young and foolish, I was easy led
I've been mistreated ever since, Mama, she's been dead

Sometimes it seems
Like the whole world is down on me
If I've been a bad boy, I did not intend to be

Tell me, prеtty mama
Who can your good man be
We ain't got nobody
Honey, won't you plеase take me

I've got three women, yellow, black and brown
When I go to see one, tell the other two I'm out of town

I want you all you women
To treat me all the same
Every man you meet you ain't no monkey man

When I had money
Spraying from all around
Now I've lost all that money
Cent can't even be found

I won't leave you walking
Coming back 'til Fall
My luck won't change, I won't be back at all

Tell me, pretty mama
Who can your good man be?
We ain't got nobody
Honey, won't you please take me

I'm going to Florida
Where I can have my fun
Way down in the sweet grace
And look up at the sun

I'm weary now
But I won't be weary long
It's the weariness
The thing that wearies on
