10 Sep 09 - 03:41 AM (#2720398) Subject: RE: lyrics and chords - for blues songs From: Will Fly Ian - it's highly likely that many of the original versions of what you want will be available to hear for free on "Spotify" - the CD streaming site. I've found it incredibly useful for different versions of songs. If you haven't got to Spotify, you can read all about it at: Spotify If you can out up with adverts, the service is free - not available in the US, though. |

Lord, I woke up this morning with the blues all round my baby's bed. I turned my face to the wall, and baby, these are the words I said: Now, sweet to mama, how sweet to mama, now mama, tell me where you stayed last night. Lord, it's sweet to mama, now, mama, where'd you stay last night? Now, your clothes are all wrinkled, mama, your hair sure ain't fixed up right. Now, it's two drops of water, two drops of water, now, baby, one or two grains of sand. Lord, it's two drops of water, Lord, and one or two grains of sand. My baby, the blues ain't nothin' but a woman want to see her man. Now there's two big steamers, two big steamers, my baby, running along side by side. Lord, there's two bullyin' steamers running along side by side. Now, you stole my good gal. I guess you're satisfied. Now, mama told me, my mama told me, my baby, when I was a child, Lord, my mama told me, Lord, when I was a child, You have a good time now, you'll have trouble after a while. If I just a-listened, just had a-listened, my baby, what my mama said, If I just had a-listened, great God, what my mama said, I would have been at home trying to live with you every day. Now, when you see the spider, you see the spider, my baby, runnin' up and down the wall, Lord, when you see the spider, Lord, they're runnin' up and down the wall. He must be goin' somewhere, because he's tryin' have his ashes hauled. Now, weepin' Mary, a–weeping Mary, a–weeping Mary, don't you weep no more. I said, a–weeping Mary, now, Mary, don't you weep no more. Now, stop and take your time, and do your work everywhere you go. |

Come here, papa. Look at sis, Out in the backyard just shaking like this. CHORUS: Doin' the Georgia Crawl, oh, Georgia Crawl. We don't need to buy a thing(?), do the Georgia Crawl. I can shake it east, shake it west. Way down south I can shake it the best. Come in this house, gal. Come here right now. Out there trying to do the crawl and you don't know how. Old Aunt Sally, old and gray, Doin' the Georgia Crawl til she died away. |
