Fare You Well Blues

Lyrics

Said there's something, something, that's keep a-worryin' my mind Well there's something, baby, keep a-worryin' my mind Well I'm sittin' down thinking 'bout you all the time Said when you and your good man get so you can't agree Ah when you and your good man get so you can't agree Kick and slam my doors, come and take poor me Takin' rocks and gravel, well, to make a solid road It take rock and gravel to build up a solid road Take a brownskin woman to satisfy my soul And I'm goin' back to Memphis, Tennessee, doggone baby well Tennessee Where the brownskin women they do care for me Well I'm a poor old boy, great long ways from home Oh I'm a poor ol' boy, great long ways from home I ain't got nobody to carry my good work on I'm gonna jack me a paling, well, from my yard's back fence I'm gonna snatch me a paling from my yard back fence I'm gonna whup that woman, and try to learn her some sense Ah well you spend my money, can't wear my clothes Can't wear my clothes Well, you mistreat me, woman, like a man you never seen before Well I'm going, going, where I came from, in the morning, sweet baby Well I'm Well I'm goin' where I just come from Said now where was you when your rooster crowed 'fore day Well, now where were you, rooster crowed 'fore day Said I wasn't at home, gettin' out on my way Well, don't a woman act funny when she fixin' to put you down Ah don't a woman act funny when she fixin' to put you down Said she get to the place, she don't want you 'round
