Papa Charlie Jackson — Up The Way Bound (Take 1) lyrics

Lyrics

My baby done quit me: and talk’s all over town
I’m too good a man: to let that talk go around
I’m leaving today: going to leave this southern town
Because my baby caught a plane: that was up the way
bound
I feel like jumping: from a treetop to the ground
To get a flying start: and run my baby down
I’m reeling and rocking: Lord howling like a hound
If brownskin’s the best: I’ll *play a teasing brown*
Oh feel like a dirty: feel like a dat dat dat
Doesn’t somebody know: where my baby at
I’m going to grab me a train: beat it on up the line
I’m going to ride: until I find that good‑goody woman of mine
