Match Box Blues歌詞

Match Box Blues - Blind Lemon Jefferson
How far to the river mama walk down by the sea
How far to the river walk down by the sea
I got those tadpoles and minnows all in over me
Standing here wondering will a matchbox hold my clothes
I'se sittin here wondering will a matchbox hold my clothes
I ain't got so many matches but I got so far to go
Lord Lord who may your manager be
Hey mama who may your manager be
Reason I ask so many questions
Can't you make friends match for me
I got a girl cross town she crochet all the time
I got a girl cross town crochet all the time
Mama if you don't quit crochet in you gunna lose your mind
I wouldn'y mind marrying but I can't stand settling down
I Don't mind marrying but Lord settling down
I'm gonna act like a preacher so I can ride from town to town
Well I'm leaving town but that won't make me stay
I leaving town crying won't make me stay
Baby the more you cry the farther you drive me away
