Katie Crippen — Blind Man Blues lyrics

Lyrics

The blind men held a meeting once
Way down in Tennessee
And talked about those things they’d heard
But things that they could not see
«Girls are wearing fewer clothes each day
It ain’t doin' us no good no way»
So they joined right in and sang those blind man blues
I ain' goin' to marry, ain' goin' to settle down, doggone my soul!
Ain' goin' to marry, ain' goin' to settle down
I’m goin' to stay down here an' swing these women roun'
When you think that yo' lovin' gal is true, doggone my soul!
When you feel that yo' lovin' gal is true
Then she is yo’s, she’s mine, she’s somebody else’s too
You can always tell when your gal is treating you mean, doggone my soul!
You can always tell when your gal is treating you mean
Yo' meals ain' reg’lar, yo' house ain’t nevah clean
Big, fat women with the meat shaking on her bones, doggone my soul!
Big, fat women with the meat shaking on her bones
Ev’ry time she shakes, a skinny woman weeps an' moans
