Sleepy Woman Blues - Robert Petway - Big Joe Williams

Well, she sleeps me in the mornin', baby, well, she sleeps me late at night

Well, she sleeps me in the mornin', baby, well, she sleeps me late at night

She sleep me so long now, little woman, I b’lieve to my soul you ain’t treatin'

me right

Sleeps me so long now, little daddy, she b’lieve to my soul I’m dead (Spoken:

Yes, yes!)

Sleep me so long now, baby, she b’lieve to her soul I’m dead

Way you treat me now, baby, I b’lieve it done gone to my head

Don’t sleep me so long, baby, 'til I can’t teach you right from wrong

Don’t sleep me so long, baby, I can not teach you right from wrong

Reason I love you now, little woman, 'cause you done been here but now you’re

gone

Yes, yes!

Play it now for 'em there, partner!

Keep on sleepin' me now, baby, oh well, you sure ain’t gonna call it right

Keep on sleepin' now, baby, oh well, you ain’t gonna call it right

Catch you sleepin' now, little woman, I said, wit' your kidman at night
