Hi, I'm searching the lyrics of Married Life Blues from Oscar Ford. He recorded it in 1929. Riley Puckett play the guitar on that song. There is a verse toward the end where I hear Ku klux klan. I hope that the connotation is not racist, I lack the words to contextualize its reference. English is not my primary language. Here's so far, what I've got. Thanks in advanced I took a notion few years ago that I'd start out in life The first thing I thought that I had to have was me a pretty wife I had those lonesome lovesick blues Way around a honeymoon, way out in Arkansas When I got back to my old home town I met my mother-in-law I had the disappointed blues So I started out to keepin' house, started out with a good will I got drunk and I lost my job and I couldn't pay the grocery bill I had those alcoholic blues Then my wife she got mad at me, oh so my mother-in-law The neighbors all set in a blustery, I thought we started a war I blues Then I got too late , didn't come home till three My wife was standing in the door with the rolling pin for me I had those naggy blues Then she stood me forty boards and alimony, too I didn't have but fifteen cents and I didn't know what to do I had those desperation blues her name was Julia-ann The second time I took her out, I met the Ku klux Klan I take me for a ride rope Every time they dust my pan, she see a of smoke I Lord
