Signifying Blues

My woman signify that my blacksnake was dead
My woman signify my blacksnake was dead
But she never knowed it until I went to bed

I want to tell everybody what a signifyin' man will do
I'm gonna tell everybody what a signifyin' man will do
He will come to my house and he talk about you
Go to your house and talk about me
But he better learn, he ain't gonna signify no more

Lord, this signifyin' man, I'll tell you what it's all about
He's a signifyin' man, I'll tell you what it's all about
She looked down the street and seen me comin'
She put that low-down rascal out

I'm gonna tell you what you ought to do
I'm gonna tell you what you ought to do
If you don't b'lieve me you can aks everybody in my neighborhood
