It's a country blues, a beautiful song. i was noodling around in an open D tuning the other day and kind of stumbled onto the tune, but can't find the lyrics anywhere. I think it's an old Barbeque Bob song, or maybe Tampa Red or somebody like that? any help? sb |

Oh, nobody knows Atlanta like I do. What's the reson I know it, I've traveled it through and through. If you've got a good woman, this is a lesson I'll give to you. Oh, if you've got a good woman, lesson I'll give to you. Don't you take her Atlanta, the mens'll take her away from you. Oh, they've taken my woman, hurt me to the bone. Lord, they've taken my woman, hurt me to the bone. That's the reason why you hear me cry and moan. (Humming verse) I've taken one woman, believe me I am through. Lord, I've taken one women, believe me I am through. Just for what you do it's coming home to you. Oh, don't you hear that steamboat whistle blow? Oh, don't you hear that steamboat whistle blow? And it blows just like it never blowed before. That's alright baby, 'bout how you run around. Oh, that's all right baby, how you run around. But your heart'll strike sorrow when Bob gets back to town. (Humming verse) If you take my woman, I won't get mad with you. Oh, if you take my woman, I won't get mad with you. Like you take her from me, somebody'll sure take her from you. |
