I'm looking for lyrics to a song called 'black man blues' which according to the compilation c.d. I have was performed by Mr. Hooker although it doesn't really sound like him. It's a very scratchy recording so I'm assuming it was one of his first. Here's what I can't make out


Here meeeeeeee, got the black man ???? 2x
Weeell Dr. Chilsom chill this woman?????

Soon this morning woman come walking, that woman come walking in 2x
Yes I'm layin' there thinkin' tryin' t' make it up in my mind for another, kill this woman an' a get down on again

yeeeeeeees, yes she know, know for sell??? know she ain't doin' me right

yeeaaaah house ain't never clean, my supper ain't never done 2x


yeaaaaah got so mad this mornin', broke the walls I, grab my shot gun gonna mow that woman down
yeaaaaaah broke through the walls tore out the hose? mow that woman down, mow that woman down

Well now ???????

As you can see I've got some of it, but much of what I've got doesn't make sense so any help would be appreciated,
Thanks guys and gals!!

I believe that Hooker recorded this for the King label, using the pseudonym 'Texas Slim'.
