Ida Cox — Lonesome Blues lyrics

Lyrics

The blues came down my alley: and stopped right at my door
They made me feel: like I’ve never felt before
I’m a good‑hearted woman: never done nobody wrong
But the better I treat my daddy: the worse we get along
If you don’t want me daddy: please tell me what to do
I’ve never loved nobody daddy: like I’m loving you
I’ve got ten little puppies: twelve little shaggy hound
It takes all twenty‑two: to run my good man down
