Lyrics

[Verse 1] I'm 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 2] I said fair brown, who may your manager be? Oh, mama, who may your manager be? [We've had/Reason I ask] so many questions, can't you make 'rangements for me? [Verse 3] I got a girl 'cross town, she crochet all the time I got a girl 'cross town, crochets all the time Mama, if you don't quit crochetin', you gon' lose your mind [Verse 4] I can't count the time I stole away and cried Can't count the time I stole away and cried Sugar, the blues ain't on me, but things ain't goin' on right [Verse 5] If you want your lover, you bеtter pin her to your side I say you want your baby, pin hеr to your side If she flags my train, papa Lemon's gon' let her ride [Verse 6] I ain't seen my good gal in three long weeks today Ain't seen my good gal in three long weeks today Said it's been so long, seem like my heart gon' break [Verse 7] Now excuse me, mama, from knockin' on your door Well excuse me, mama, from knockin' on your door My mind don't change, I'll never knock here no more
