Subject: Lyr Add: CHUMP MAN BLUES (Blind Blake)
Hi-here is CHUMP MAN BLUES. I'll try to sort out JIVIN' WOMAN a little later when I've found my recording of it.

CHUMP MAN BLUES
I'm going to the river, take a great big jump (x2)
I used to be a wise man but a woman made me a chump.

It sure is funny how hard a man can fall (x2)
When he gets to thinking one woman has got it all.

My baby throwed me out and I started walkin' down the track (x2)
And then I went home and begged her to take me back.

She ain't no good but I can't quit her nohow
She ain't no good but I can't quit her somehow
I used to be a wildcat, this woman is(sic)tamed me down

She don't act sweet, shes a mean and nagging kind (x2)
She got a new quiver, make a strong man lose his mind.
