Blues In My Shoes [compilation] (2007) by Various Artists (보컬) on maniadb.com

Hoodoo Lady

Hoodoo lady, how do you do?
They tell me you take a boot and turn it to a brand new shoe
But don't put that thing on me
Don't put that thing on me
Don't put that thing on me
'Cause I'm going back to Tennessee

Hoodoo lady, you can turn water to wine
I been wondering where have you been all this time
I'm setting here broke, and I ain't got a dime
You ought to put something in these dukes of mine
But don't put that thing on me
Don't put that thing on me
Don't put that thing on me
'Cause I'm going back to Tennessee

Hoodoo lady, I want you to unlock my door
So I can get in and get all my clothes
But don't put that thing on me
Don't put that thing on me
Don't put that thing on me
'Cause I'm going back to Tennessee

Now look-a here, hoodoo lady, I want you to treat me right
Bring my man back home but don't let him stay all night
And don't put that thing on me
Don't put that thing on me
Don't put that thing on me
'Cause I'm going back to Tennessee

Why look here, hoodoo lady, I'm your friend
When you leave this time, come back again
But don't put that thing on me
Don't put that thing on me
Don't put that thing on me
'Cause I'm going back to Tennessee

It was late, one Saturday evenin'
After the sun went down
Yes, it was late one Saturday evenin'
Lord, after the sun went down
Yeah, I went lookin' for my baby
Lord, but she was not around

The wind started howlin'
And the rain begin to fall
Yeah, the wind started howlin'
Lord, and the rain begin to fall
Yes, if my baby had-a known how much I loved her
She wouldn't never left me at all

Her picture is still on my dresser
And her gown is on my bed
Yes, her picture's on my dresser
Lord, and her gown is on my bed
Lord, I'm just sittin' here wonderin' is my baby livin'
Lord, or is my little baby dead

She left home one Saturday evenin'
After the sun went down
Yes, she left home one Saturday evenin'
Lord, after the sun went down
Lord, I know it's somethin' wrong
'Cause my baby can't be found

Now every Saturday evenin'
After the sun go down
Every Saturday evenin'
I get these blues as blue can be
Lord, we three was so happy
My wife and my guitar and me

People, if you hear me hummin'
On this song both night an day
If you hear me hummin'
On this song both night an day
I'm just a poor boy in trouble
Tryin' to drive my blues away

My blues comes at midnight
An they keep me troubled 'till day
My blues at midnight
An they keep me troubled 'till day


An there is only one woman
That can drive my blues away

So worried an blue
I hardly know just what to do
So worried an blue
I hardly know just what to do
I even cries in my sleep, mama
An it's all on account of you

Do you know what it is, people
To be a worried man?
Do you know what it is, people
Mmm, to be a worried man?
If you never been worried
You really can't understand.

I'm a road runner honey,
Beep! Beep!
I'm a road runner honey,
And you can't keep up with me,
I'm a road runner honey,
And you can't keep up with me,
Come on, let's race,
Baby baby, you will see,
Here I come,
Beep! Beep!

Move over honey,
Let me by,
Move over baby,
Let this man by,
I'm gonna show you baby, look out your head,
Gonna put some dirt in your eye,
Here I go!
Oh yea, how am I doin?
Beep! Beep!

Take my hand baby,
I'm gonna prove to you that I'm a road running man,
I wanna show you something,
That I'm the fastest in the land,
Now let me by,
Beep! Beep!

Oh yea, you said you's fast,
But it don't look like you gonna last,
Goodbye! I've got to put you down,
I'll see you some day,
Baby, somewhere hangin' around.
