The Jinx Blues (Part 2) - Son House
Mm now baby I sure won't be a burden
Well I got up this mornin' with the jinx all 'round
Jinx all 'round 'round my bed
I said I woke up this mornin' with the with the jinx all round my bed
You know I thought about you now baby and it would like to kill me dead
You know I woke up this mornin' just at the break
Just at the break break of day
I said soon this mornin' I said just about the break of day
You know I was huggin' the pillow where my good gal used to lay
You know ain't it terrible layin' down
Layin' down by yourself
Now ain't terrible I said layin' down by yourself
Now said the blues got you whoo and your woman got somebody else
You know the sun's goin' down behind the western
Behind the western western hill
I said hey the sun is goin' down I said behind that old western hill
You know I don't practice nothing not against my baby's will
It looked like you wanted me while I was lovin'
While I was lovin' and lovin' and kind
I said it looked like you wanted me I said while I was lovin' and kind
But someday you gonna want me whoo baby
And I'll be done changed my mind
You know I went in my room sat down
Sat down and I cried
I said I went in my room I sat down and then I cried
Well I didn't have no blues I just wasn't satisfied
Mm minutes seem like hours hours seem
Hours seem like seem like days
I said the minutes seem like hours and the hours they seem like days
Well it seems like my baby oughta stop her lowdown ways
Mm I believe I'll go to the Gypsy have my fortune
Have my fortune fortune told
I believe I'll go to the Gypsy I said I'm gonna have my fortune told
You know I kinda believe somebody is tryin' to steal my jelly roll
