Classic Poem

I woke up this morning my good gal was gone
I woke up this morning my good gal was gone
Stood by my bedside I hung my head I hung my head and moaned

I walked down the street I couldn't be satisfied
I walked down the street I couldn't be satisfied
I had them no no blues I couldn't keep from I couldn't keep from crying

'Tain't none of my business but it sure ain't right
'Tain't none of my business but it sure ain't right
Take another man's gal walk the streets all walk the streets all night

Take a mighty crooked woman to treat a good man wrong
Take a mighty crooked woman to treat a good man wrong
Take a mighty mean man take another man's take another man's home

I'm a stranger here I just blowed in your town
I'm a stranger here I just blowed in your town
If I ask for a favor don't turn me, don't turn me down

I'm long and tall like a cannon ball
I'm long and tall like a cannon ball
Take a long tall man make a good gal make a good gal squall

If I mistreat you I sure don't mean no harm
If I mistreat you I sure don't mean no harm
'Cause I'm a motherless child don't know right from don't know right from wrong

I ain't no gambler and I don't play no pool
I ain't no gambler and I don't play no pool
I'm a rambling roller jelly baking, jelly baking fool

She's low and squatty right down on the ground
She's low and squatty right down on the ground
She's a light weighted mama shook her kid man shook her kid man down

I'm a stranger here I come in on the train
I'm a stranger here I come in on the train
I long to hear some good gal call my good gal call my name
