Texas Blues - Mance Lipscomb

I was raised in Texas, schooled in Tennessee.

I won’t let you woman make a fool out of me

Late Last winter when it was chillin' cold.

x2

My woman put me out didn’t have nowhere to go

I didn’t have no money, my shoes had done worn thin.

x2

I didn’t have a decent pair of pants to go to Sunday school in

That’s alright things about to come my way.

x2

Got change in my pocket, change of clothes every day

Take me back baby I’ll tell you what I’ll do.

x2

I’ll steal and beg, baby bring it home to you

She looks and me, she give me one sweet smile.

x2

I’ll take you back for your low down dirty lie

Oooh-eee I feel alright today.

x2

My woman come back says she’s going to stay

One of these days baby and it won’t be long.

x2

You gonna call me baby, yes and I’ll be gone

Mama told me when I was a child.

x2

Son Whiskey and women gonna kill you after awhile

Good bye (baby) if I don’t see you no more.

Remember my footprints tramping around your door
