Rightous Blues

Listen everybody : I'm going to sing a song
It won't be dirty : and it won't be long

When you want some whiskey : right off the *stove*
Go over : and see Miss Stella Gold

The gals from the alley : slipping all around
Telling everybody : they're leaving town

I got a yellow gal : and a brown named Mame
But the best I've ever had : was the old Crow Jane

Met a funny fellow : he didn't like girls
Painted his face : and with his hair all curls

I'm staying with a woman : about fifty‑two
I thought she was too old : I'm telling you
