Blind Lemon Jefferson — Southern Woman Blues lyrics

Lyrics

Way down south: you ought to see the women shimmy and
shake
Their new way of wiggle: make a weak man break his neck
You fed me greens: and I mean that they really can cook
Make me a jellyroll: and I mean it’s out the book
I was down south: where all my whiskey cook
Just looking at them women: makes me want to get my gauge stuck
Southern women: man hard to beat
Ain’t so easy to get along with: but Lord so sweet
I’m going down south: and I believe I’ll take my hook
I’m going to fish in southern women: I declare it’s out
the book
Me and my sugar: *something I did hold*
I won’t go to fishing: mama I done broke my pole
