Lyrics Skip James - My Own Blues

My Own Blues-Skip James
Piano in Db and vocal

INTRO

Everybody just keep a-talkin' 'bout the low-down dirty things that I do
Everybody just keep a-talkin' 'bout the low-down dirty things that I do
Of course, if you treat me dirty, baby, you know I'm surely gon' treat you dirty, too

SOLO

Yes, you can love me or can leave me, just 'most any old thing you want to do
You can love me or you can leave me, 'most any old thing you want to do
You know, so many strange thing now happenin', baby, you know, somethin' could happen to you

You know, I'm motherless and I'm, and I'm fatherless, and I'm sister and I'm brotherless, too
You know, I'm motherless and I'm fatherless, sister and I am brotherless, too
That's the reason I been beggin' and pleadin' so hard, baby, to try to get along wit' you

Yes, and I sit up all the last night, and I sit up all the night before
You know, I sit up all the last night, all the night night before
I was drinkin' a lot of old bad whiskey, but I declare that I won't take another drink, never no more, never no more, never no
