Vicksburg Blues Lyrics


Alright lets go gents!....
Piano intro...
Now when I went up Mulberry..Un-huh
Boys and I turned up clay.
Now when I went up Mulberry,
(My) Boys and I turned up clay.
I was looking for my sweet baby.....
But she had moved away.
Some said she done moved out on Walnut..yeah..
Some say she done moved out on Pine.
Some said she done moved out on Walnut..hey hey
Some say she done moved out on Pine
Now wherever she really is partner,
She restin' on my mind.
Now just as soon as that train - Baby! Mama! Honey?....
Honey...Make up in the yard!
Now soon as that train pretty baby? Pretty baby!
Darlin' make up in the yard.

Now I'm Vicksburg bound....
That's if them boys don't have me barred!
Instrumental. ....Yeah!
Now just as soon as that train - Baby! Mama! Honey!
Make up in the yard!
Now...Just as soon as that train Baby. Mama? Honey!
Make up in that yard!
Now, I'm Vicksburg bound,
That's if them folks don't have me barred.

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
