Cocktail Man Blues - Peetie Wheatstraw

Allego Classic Blues CBL 200 037

Good morning, people

Just got back from cocktail land

Good morning, people

Just got back from cocktail land

When I find my little woman

Ooo-well, we gonna raise some cocktail sand

When I got up this mornin'

Went down in old alley can

I got up this mornin'

Went down in old alley can

And the womens they was hollerin'

Hoo-well, 'Here come that little cocktail man'

They cry, 'Cocktails for two'

Now that is all it can be

Cryin', 'Cocktails for two'

Baby that’s all it can be

Now if you got plenty of cocktail

Please save a 'tall' for me

(piano)

I’m a good cocktail monsieur

Well, you know I start it all with a feather

Um-hm, babe said I start it off with a feather

Now won’t you come here little mama

Please now let’s serve our cocktails together

Well now, it ain’t no trouble

When I watch your crowd the best I can

I say, I ain’t no trouble

I will watch your crowd the best I can

But now when it come to missing cocktails

Hoo-well, here’s a little cocktail man.
