Subject: Lyr Add: PISTOL SLAPPIN' BLUES (Blind Boy Fuller)
Blind boy Fuller, "Pistol slappin' blues". There are a lot of verses to this song that I don't remember. Gotta get an old-fashioned turntable so's I can hear all these old records again....

I know my bulldog, anywhere I hear him bark,
I know my rider if I see her in the dark.

There's but two kinds of people in this world that I can't stand,
That's a lying woman and a cheatin' backdoor man.

You didn't say you didn't love me, when you stretched out across my bed,
you drinkin' moonshine whiskey and talking all outta your head.

Well I feel like slappin' my pistol 'cross your face,
I'm gonna let the graveyard be your resting place.

Frank i.t.s.
