Packin' Trunk Blues

(This song was made about a man and a woman. This man he married a woman, she didn't want him. But she married him anyhow. For the money that he had. And she thought that she got every dollar that he had — but she was mistaken. But she got him pretty well bent: he sat there with his head hung down. She walked by and she said, " Daddy, " she said, " what's the matter with you? " He looked at her and here's what he said to her:)
I'm sitting down here wondering would a, would a matchbox hold my clothes
Sitting down here wondering would a matchbox hold my clothes
I'm sitting down here wondering would a matchbox hold my clothes
(She asked him, she said, " Papa, " she said, " what's the matter with you? " )

I don't want to be bothered with no suitcase on my road
Don't want to be bothered with no suitcase on my road
I don't want to be bothered with no suitcase on my road
(He said, " I'm going to see my friend, and see what he would do when his wife's packing up her trunk. " )

Oh what would you do when your baby packing up her trunk?
What would you do when your baby packing up her trunk?
Oh what would you do when your baby packing up her trunk?
(He looked at him and here's what he told him:)

Get you half a gallon of whiskey and, and get on you a big drunk
Get you half a gallon of whiskey and get on you a big drunk
Get you half a gallon of whiskey and get on you a big drunk
(She said, " Ghost , go and play the piano a piece for me a little piece. " This ghost jumped down and commenced playing the piano.)
