Frank Stokes - Nehi Mamma Blues lyrics

When a man take the blues, he walk to the river and sit down When a man take the blues, he walk to the river and sit down If the blues get too heavy, he'll jump overboard and drown 'Cause a man take the blues, he walk to the river and sit down Get's turned by a Nehi mama, and he turned right sure around My mama wonders what's going on, mama since I left town Now it's east and west, north and south Why, the Nehi women have done turned me out So they can Eagle Rock me, they can stop me Upon the things that I used to do I got the Nehi blues mama Don't know what in the world to do Ah, now it's T for Texas, T for Tennessee Them is a-mighty bad letters for to stole away from me 'Cause she can Eagle Rock me, they can stop me Upon the things that I used to do I got the Nehi blues mama Don't know what in the world to do Now down on Third Street, the corner of Beale Why, the Nehi women have got a terrible feel 'Cause they can Eagle Rock you, they can stop you Upon the things that you used to do, I got the Nehi blues Don't know what in the world to do Now, papa got to singing, my folks got to crying For Nehi women, stays on my mind So they can Eagle Rock me, they can stop me Upon the things that I used to do I got the Nehi blues Don't know what in the world to do Now little batch of posies, laid on my door The Nehi women keep me, everywhere I go 'Cause they can Eagle Rock me, they can stop me Upon the things that I used to do I got the Nehi blues mama Don't know what in the world to do I got the Nehi blues Don't know what in the world to do
