Match Box Blues (OKeh Version)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I'm going to the river, gonna walk down 'bout the sea I'm going to the river, walk down 'bout the sea I caught those tadpoles and minnows arguin' over me [Verse 2] Standin' here, wonderin', will a match box hold my clothes? I'm standin' here, wonderin', will a match box hold my clothes? I ain't got so many matches, but I got so far to go [Verse 3] Lord, mama, who may your manager be? Hey, hey, mama, who may your manager be? Reason I ask so many questions, can't you make 'rangements for me? [Verse 4] I got a girl 'cross town she crochet all the time I got a girl 'cross town, crochet all the time Baby, if you don't quit crochetin', you gonna lose your mind [Verse 5] I wouldn't mind marryin', but I can't stand settlin' down I don't mind marryin', but I loathe settlin' down I'm gon' act like a preacher so I can ride from town to town [Verse 6] Well I'm leaving town, cryin' won't make me stay I'm leavin' town, hey, cryin' won't make me stay Baby, the more you cry, the farther you drive me away
