Elsie Blues
 

Elsie : is sweetest girl I know
If you didn't love me Elsie : why didn't you tell me so

Now I followed Elsie : right to the jumping‑off ground
But I never felt sorry : till they let my baby down

Now I followed my baby Lord : long days and long nights
I followed my baby : till I see she wasn't going to treat me right

You can misuse me here now now : but you can't when I go home
Elsie I got somebody there : will really make you leave me alone

Now I give you all my loving : Elsie what more can a poor man do
You a sweet little girl : Elsie but I swear you won't be true

Now you can't have me Elsie : now now and my partner too
Because your no‑good way baby : oh baby that won't do

Now I followed you to them dance now : and you jook jook all the time
You jook jook so : that I wouldn't pay you no mind

You if you don't quit jooking baby : that's going to be all right
If your good man don't see you : I'll try to see you tomorrow night
