Fannin Street (Mr. Tom Hughes' Town) Lyrics

My mama told me
My sister too
Said, 'The Shreveport women, son,
Will be the death of you'Said to my mama,
'Mama, you don't know
If the Fannin Street women gonna kill me
Well, you might as well let me go'Follow me down,
Follow me down,
Follow me down
By Mr Tom Hughes townI went to my mama
Fell down on my knees
Said, 'Oh, mama, won't you forgive me, please?'
She started to cry:
Follow me down,
Follow me down,
Follow me down
By Mr Tom Hughes townI got a woman
Lives on Stony Hill

She used to sit down and gamble with
Mr Buffalo BillHe's a bad manYou got a woman
Gamble with Buffalo Bill
Two chances in one, babe,
You ain't done got killedShe started to cry:
Follow me down,
Follow me down,
Follow me down
By Mr Tom Hughes townI got a woman
Lives back of the jail
Makes an honest livin'
By the wigglin' of her tailCry for meAnyone should ask you
Who made up this song
Tell 'em Huddie Ledbetter
Done been here and goneFollow me down,
Follow me down,
Follow me down
By Mr Tom Hughes town
