Lead Belly - Becky Dean lyrics

Becky Deem, she was a gamblin' gal Win all her money, and she win it fair Becky Deem, she was a gamblin' gal She win all her money, and she win it fair Becky Deem, had her games on the ground She win all the money the skinner laid down Becky Deem, had her games on the ground She win all the money the skinner laid down She started to hit one, with a singletree Mighta heared the rascal hollerin' "Don't you murder me" She started to hit one, with a singletree You mighta heared the rascal hollerin' "Don't you murder me" Walked all the way from East St Louis She didn't have but the one thin dime She walked all the way from East St Louis And she didn't have but the one thin dime Never spent it for whiskey, and honey, neither for wine Yes I spent it all on the sake of the man of mine She never spent it for whiskey, and honey, neither for wine I spent it all on the sake o' the man o' mine
