Subject: RE: Great folk song lyrics
Some blues lyrics that I've always liked:

It's Honey and it's Sweety when I'm with her,
Big nasty man when I'm gone
When she sees me coming with a twenty dollar bill
It's,"Sweet Darlin' where you been so long?"

I ain't never had no two women at one time
No I ain't never had no two women at one time
To satisfy this boy takes six, seven, eight or nine.

I prayed to the Lord to send me an angel down
Yes I prayed to the Lord to send me an angel down
He must've been out of angels 'cause he sent me old Thelma Brown.

What is it makes me love that Thelma Brown?
Ah what is it makes me love that Thelma Brown?
Must be the same old thing makes a bulldog hug a hound.

What makes my Grandma love my Grandpa so?
What makes my Grandma love my Grandpa so?
He's got that same jelly roll he had fifty years ago.

Although some of them may be politically incorrect, I like 'em.
