Down South Blues

Now I'm going down south and I'm

Stay until winter is gone

And when winter time is gone

I might come back home

Now I get up every morning

And I walk up to Thirty Fields

Now I get up every morning

And I walk up to Thirty Fields

And I'm just standing and I'm wondering

Lord, just how to make a meal

Now the people in Memphis

They are walking the streets up and down

Now the people in Memphis

They are walking the streets up and down

And you know that time is hard

People are starving all over town

Now once I've been in love

Baby, back in my young days

Now once I've been in love

Baby, back in my young days

But my baby was so mean

She done drove all my love away

Now I got a girl in Brown

She live down on Bullifin Lane

Now I got a girl in Brown

She live down on Bullifin Lane

But my gal was so mean

I'm scared to call her name
