Down South Blues Lyrics

Well, I′m going down South, child
This weather here is too cold
You know, I'm going down South, child
This weather here is too cold
Now you know, I done laid around Chicago
I ain′t got change in gold

Well, I woke up this morning
Found my baby gone
You know, I woke up this morning
Found my baby gone
Now I couldn't do nothing
With my hand in home

Well, I was in jail, child
With my back turned to the wall
I had stayed in jail, child
With my back turned to the wall
Now Jenny, when she free
Was having herself a ball

Well, I'm leaving this morning
I got to shake your hand
You know, I′m leaving this morning
I got to shake your hand
Well, I′m going to my woman
You go back to your man
