Jazz Gillum — Uncertain Blues lyrics

Lyrics

Bluebird 66 717−2 RCA, BMG 1997.
Well, I started to write a letter
No, I believe I’ll go back home
Yes, I start to write a letter, baby
No, I believe I’ll go back home
After she reads my letter
I believe she’ll travel on
I started to cook me a chicken
No, I believe I’ll take my rest
I start to cook me a chicken, baby
No, I believe I’ll take my rest
Maybe I’ll go back an sleep
Maybe I’ll dream the things is best
I started to sell my jewelry
No, I believe I’ll pawn my clothes
I start to sell my jewelry, baby
No, I believe I’ll pawn my clothes
Yes, my watch tics so lonesome
Up an down this lonesome road
I started to break this twenty
No, I believe I’ll spend my change
I started to break this twenty, baby
No, I believe I’ll spend my change
I started to buy a wood stove
No, I believe I’ll fix my reins
(harmonica & instrumental)
I start to say that I’m worried
No, I believe I’m satisfied
I started to say that I’m worried, baby
No, I believe I’m satisfied
I start to walk around the corner
But I believe I’ll take a ride.
