Beale Town Bound
 

Said I'm [leaving mama, going away] : I'm going to leave you now
Every time I think : I think I'm downtown

Yeah listen mama : what I'm about to say to you
Ain't a thing to the world mama : that I want you to do

If the blues get away from me mama : I'm going back home with you
Every time I see you : I think about the things I want to do

And I'm going I'm going mama : what you want me to bring you back
Mama think about the things in the world : that your good friends have

I'm going to the workhouse : set out on the floor
And if the times don't get better : I ain't going back home no more

And I feel like hollering : murder in the first degree
You didn't have no business mama : starting this deal with me
