Subject: Lyr Req: Be My Kid Blues
Be my kid blues by Elizabeth Johnson has some odd instruments, a cornet and woodblock, in addition to the guitar. However, I fine her articulation difficult for the verses.

It goes something like:

VERSE 1
If you be my kid, I'll be your teddy-bear
Be my kid, I'll be your teddy-bear
be my kid, I'll be your teddy-bear
I'll get in your pocket and follow you everywhere

VERSE 2
When you see me comin', h...??? your window high
See me comin', h...??? your window high
See me comin', h...??? your window high
See me leavin', hang your head and cry

BRIDGE
Raining here!
Raining here!
Raing here!
Raining here!
Raining here, storming on the see

VERSE 3
Raining here, storming on the see
Raining here, storming on the see
Raining here, storming on the see
Raining here, storming on the see

VERSE 4
I'm leaving here, but I sure don't wanna go
Leaving here, I sure don't wanna go
Leaving here, I sure don't wanna go
Even men(?) don't want me no more

VERSE 5
I'm going up-town, I'm gonna buy me a bed
Going up-town, I'm gonna buy me a bed
Going up -own, I'm gonna buy me a bed
Sleep with my man if it kills me dead
