I'm goin' to Brownsville find Sleepy John
Well, I'm goin' to Brownsville find Sleepy John
I'm gonna get my money from a low down son of a gun
Goin' find Sleepy John, find Yank Rachel too
Goin' find Sleepy John, find Yank Rachel too
Well they ain't have a nickel left between 'em when I get thru
You ever in Brownsville don't get in John's card game
If ya' ever in Brownsville don't get in John's card game
He'll take your money, your guitar, he'll take your family name
If they ain't in Brownsville they gone to Memphis town
If they ain't in Brownsville they gone to Memphis town
I'm gonna walk this road till I track them boys on down
Don't find 'em in Memphis I'll find 'em out across the land
Don't find 'em in Memphis I'll find 'em out across the land
Maybe down by the river, playin' in some cheap jug band
When I find them boys I'll tell you what I'm gonna do
When I find them boys I'll tell you what I'm gonna do
I'll leave 'em standin' there with just a sock and a shoe
I'm goin' to Brownsville find Sleepy John
I'm goin' to Brownsville find Sleepy John
I'm gonna get my money from a low down son of a gun
spoken
I'm comin' for you Sleepy, you too Yank, you too
Watch me now, watch me
You boys be lookin' over your shoulder now
I'm comin' for you, you can't mess with Lucky like that
