Dust My Broom

I don't want him in my room

I don't want no woman chases
Every downtown man she meets
I don't want no woman chases
Every downtown man she meets
She's a no good mistreater
Shouldn't allow her on the streets

I believe, I believe, I believe I'll go back home
I believe, I believe, I'll go back home
You can mistreat me when I'm here babe
But you can't when I am gone
Oh you can mistreat me when I'm here babe
But you can't when I am gone

Oh mean mistreater now I'm gone

Stop Breakin' Down

Every time I'm walkin' down the street,
Some pretty mama start breakin' down with me.
Stop breakin' down, yeah stop breakin' down.
Stuff I got'll bust your brains out baby, whoo, it'll make you lose your mind.

I can't walk the streets to console my mind,
Some no-good woman starts breakin' down.
Oh stop breakin' down, please stop breakin' down, stop breakin' down.
Stuff I got'll bust your brains out baby, whoo, make you lose your mind.

Now you Saturday night womens, aww you love to ape and clown,
You won't do nothin' but tear a good man reputation down.
Oh stop breakin' down, please stop breakin' down.
Yeow, the stuff I got'll bust your brains out, baby, whoo, it'll make you lose
your mind.

Oh I give my baby now, ninety-nine degree.
She jumped up and throwed a pistol down on me.
Yeow stop breakin' down, baby please, please, please stop breakin' down. (Whoa
so crazy mama.)
The stuff I got'll bust your brains out baby, whoa, make you lose your mind.
(That explains everything.)
The stuff I got'll blow your brains out baby, whoa-hoo, make you lose your
mind.

Walking Blues

Well I woke up this mornin'

You know that I got these old walkin' blues yeah
Woke up this mornin'
Feelin 'round for my shoes
'Cause you know that I got these old walkin' blues

Oh I feel like blowin' my old lonesome home
Got up this morning, my little Bernice was gone
Lord I feel like blowin' my old lonesome home
Well I woke up this morning, all I had was gone

Well I'm leavin' this mornin'
If I had to ride the line
Feel I been mistreated, and I don't mind dyin'
Leavin' this morning if I have to ride the line (oh yeah)
Well I feel so mistreated, and I don't, I don't mind dyin'

Well, some people tell me that
These worried blues ain't bad
But it's the worst old feelin' I most ever had
Some people tell me that
These worried blues ain't bad (not so bad)

Break in on a dollar
Most anywhere she goes, oh ooooooooooh
From her head down to her toes (Lord knows)

Oh but these evil hearted women, no they just won't let me be.

Ooh I love my baby, but my baby don't love me.
Oh I love my baby, but my baby don't love me.
Oh I got it so bad for that woman, just can't let her be.
Come over here baby.

Well there ain't but one thing make me startin' to drink.

Babe you might as well just kill me, anytime it cross your mind.

Love in Vain

Well I followed her to the station
With a suitcase in my hand
Well I followed her to the station
With a suitcase in my hand
Well it's hard to tell, it's hard to tell
When all your love's in vain
All my love's in vain

When the train pulled into the station
Well I looked her in the eye
When the train pulled in the station
Looked her in the eye
I was so lonesome, so lonesome
Could not help but cry
All my love's in vain

When the train pulled out the station
It had two lights on behind
When the train pulled out the station
Had two lights on behind
Well the blue light was my blues
The red light was my mind
All my love's in vain

Said I'm working my way back home.
Well I'm working my way back home good Lord
On this Gulfport Island Road.

On this Gulfport Island Road,
On this Gulfport Island Road.

Some joker got lucky
Stole her back again

Baby it's going to be rainin' outdoors

Oh she's gone

When a woman gets in trouble
Everybody throws her down
Lookin' for her good friend
No one can be found

If today was Christmas Eve
If today was Christmas Eve
And tomorrow was Christmas Day

All I need is my little rider
Pass the time away

Leaves tremblin' on the trees
Tremblin' on the trees (woooh whoo)
Tremblin' on the trees (tremblin' on the trees)
All I need is my sweet woman
Keep me company (keep my company, oh baby, my company)

All I need is my sweet rider, oh my sweet rider
My sweet rider, keep me company

Traveling Riverside Blues

If your man get personal, want you to have your fun
If your man get personal, want you to have your fun
Just come on back to me now mama, make love all night long

I got womens in Vicksburg, clean on into Tennessee
But my Friars Point rider make sweet love to me

Well I'm goin' to Rosedale, gonna take my rider by my side
Well I'm goin' to Rosedale, gonna take my rider by my side
We can still make love baby by the riverside
We can still make love baby by the riverside
We can still make love baby by the riverside
Riverside, riverside, riverside

Crossroads Blues

I went down to the crossroads
Fell down on my knees
I went down to the crossroads
Fell down on my knees
Asked the Lord above for mercy
Save me if you please

I went down to the crossroads
Tried to flag a ride
I went down to the crossroads
Tried to flag a ride
Didn't nobody seem to know me
Everybody pass me by (pass me by)

Standing at the crossroads baby
Rising sun going down
Standing at the crossroads baby
Rising sun going down (going down)
I believe to my soul now
Lord I'm sinking down

Whoa you can run, you can run
You can hide but you'll be found (you'll be found)
You can run, you can run
You can hide but you'll be found
I'm standing at the crossroads
I believe I'm sinking down
