WE CAN SELL THAT THING
As recorded by "Dobby Bragg" (Roosevelt Sykes), 1930.

There you was down in them leaves.
Didn't have nothin' but a Limburger cheese.
We could smell that thing.
Ah, we may[be] could sell that thing.
It may be all right; we better try to sell that thing.

It may be just as good, just as good as gold.
Don't mess around and let it get too old,
'Cause we can sell that thing.
We can sell that thing.
Well, it may be all right, but we can sell that thing.

You go away and you stays all day.
When you come back you smellin' a diff'rent way.
We can smell that thing.
We can smell that thing.
Well, it may be all right, but we can smell that thing.

Well, I know somethin' that I won't say.
Ever'one says that you smell that ol' way,
We can smell that thing.
Oh, yeah, we can smell that thing.
'Course it may be all right, but we can smell that thing.

Well, I should tell you because you don't know.
People ask somethin' ev'rywhere I go.
They can smell that thing.
Oh, ah, they can smell that thing.
They say it may be all right, but still they can smell that thing.

Wind blow at night and the wind blows at day,
But it sure(?) when it blow you away.
We can smell that thing.
Ah, we can smell that thing.
Well, it may be all right; still we can smell that thing.
