I say, the blues, they jumped me last night, they didn't turn me loose 'til day
And when they turned me loose this morning, eee, that's the time my good girl walks away
My baby's gone, and she won't be back no more
My baby's gone, and she won't be back no more
And when she left me this time, man, you know she tied crepe all 'cross my door
Hey, hey, hey, pretty baby, tell me what do you mean to do
Lord, I've tried my best, sweet baby, now, just to try to get along with you
And you got me in all this low-down trouble, and, this is the old dirty low-down way that you do
If you see my spotted sow, won't you please drive her home?
If you see my spotted sow, won't you please drive her home?
Lord, I haven't had no real good sow belly, since that sow been gone
If you see that cute little old sow, won't you start her home right now?
If you see that cute little old sow, won't you start her home right now?
I got my knife good and sharp and I want to cut that sow belly right now
