Down South Woman Blues Lyrics

I woke up this mo'nin

With my down south woman

On my mind

I woke up this mo'nin

With my down south woman

On my mind

Yes, some some of these mo'nins

Hoo, Lord, I'm gonna find

That woman a-mine

I'm gonna walk Highway 51

'Till I find Highway 49

I'm gonna walk Highway 51

'Till I find Highway 49

I've got a ninety pound, woman

Hoo, Lord, would ease my worried mind

'Beat it out, beat it out'

(instrumental & piano)

Now, get hip to what I tell you

Babe, an don't be nobody's fool

Now, get hip to what I tell you

Babe, an don't be nobody's fool

And when I walk back into town

Hoo, Lord, I won't be so easily ruled

I may be a long time comin'

But baby, please let me in

I may be a long time comin'

Baby, please let me in

And you tell yo' best man

Hoo, Lord, I'm back in town, again.
