From: GUEST,Martin Hi If someone could help me to fill these missing lyrics from North Carolina Blues, a song by Lewis McDaniels, recorded in 1930? It's kind of a variation from Midnight Special. Many thanks! When you go to North Carolina, you better walk right You better not gamble, and you better not fight If , they’ll take you right down If you got no money, you’re bound clock in the morning, when the ding dong ring You go to the table, it’s the same old thing A cup of coffee on the table, as better as go If you don’t like bad boy, don’t drink it at all Yonder come my woman, oh how do you know She got the same old apron, she always wore Red ribbon on her shoulder, and her money in her hand stand back captain, I come after my man Six o’clock in the evening, when the ding dong ring You go to the table, it’s the same old thing Corn bread on the table, as hard as a rock Ain’t that enough lady, to break If anybody ask you, who sang this song Tell been here but gone |
