Red Cross Store Blues Lyrics


I told her no!
Baby you know I don't want to go
Justine I ain't goin'
Down to no Red Cross storeShe come down Justine, tell me I want to talk with you in just a little while
Ain't you goin' down and fight for your wife and child?She come down here and she shook my hand
She said Daddy I want you to go down there and fight for me like a manShe said the Red Cross people they treat you mighty fine
They mixing everything up with whiskey and wineShe come down here talkin' to me about the war
I told her baby I ain't done nothing to go there forShe come down here and she fell down on her knees
I said baby I have to look somewhere for your butter and cheeseShe said Daddy I just come down here to tell you so
You better go running down to that Red Cross store

Huddie Ledbetter (January 20, 1888 - December 6, 1949) was an iconic American folk and blues musician, and multi-instrumentalist, notable for his strong vocals, his virtuosity on the twelve-string guitar, and the songbook of folk standards he introduced. Although Lead Belly most commonly played the twelve-string, he could also play the piano, mandolin, harmonica, violin, and accordion. In some of his recordings, such as in one of his versions of the folk ballad "John Hardy", he performs on the accordion instead of the guitar.
