Blind Lemon Jefferson - Balky Mule Blues lyrics

Spoken: Huh. My gal musta had the 'la**es. Man, she's actin' just like a balky mule Hey, mama, I'm gonna ship you. That fella hand me a tag over there, please I got up this morning, I sure was feelin' fine I got up this morning and I sure was feeling fine I heard a rap at the door, must be that bear-cat woman of mine She was fussin' and she was fightin' and actin' like a doggone fool She was fussin', she was fightin' and actin' like a doggone fool And hemmin' and a-hawin' and actin' just like a balky mule Bear-cat ain't no wild cat and he don't stay home at night Bear-cat ain't no wild cat and he don't stay home at night But when it comes to squabblin', he sure can scratch and bite I got up this mornin' I was easin' 'cross the floor I got up this mornin', was easin' 'cross the floor Now, my bear-cat's leavin' me, ain't gon' catch my mice no more I was standin' on the corner when they brought me the bear-cat news I was standin' on the corner when they brought me them bear-cat news Now, here come my bear-cat mama to run me 'way with them bear-cat blues
