Three Women Blues Lyrics


Got three womens
Yellow, brown and black
I got three womens
Yellow, brown and blackIt'll take the Governor of Georgia
To judge one of these women I likeOne for in the morning
One for late at night
One for in the morning
One for late at nightI got one for noontime
To treat your old daddy rightThese blues at midnight
They don't leave me till day
These blues at midnight
They don't leave me till dayI didn't have none of my three women
To drive these blues awayOne is a Memphis yellow
The other is a Savannah brown
One is a Memphis yellow
The other is a Savannah brownOne is a Statesboro dark skin
She'll really turn your damper downNow if I had listen
To what my three women said

Now if I had listen
To what my three women saidI'd a‑been home sleeping
In a doggone feather bed

McTell was a twelve-string finger picking guitarist and singer who recorded from 1927 to 1955. One of his most famous songs, "Statesboro Blues" has been covered by many artists including Taj Mahal and The Allman Brothers Band.
