Match Box Blues, Pt. 3 - Blind Lemon Jefferson

How far to the river mama walk down by the sea

How far to the river walk down by the sea

I got those tadpoles and minnows all in over me

Standing here wondering will a matchbox hold my clothes

I'se sittin here wondering will a matchbox hold my clothes

I ain't got so many matches but I got so far to go

Lord Lord who may your manager be

Hey mama who may your manager be

Reason I ask so many questions

Can't you make friends match for me

I got a girl cross town she crochet all the time

I got a girl cross town crochet all the time

Mama if you don't quit crochet in you gunna lose your mind

I wouldn'y mind marrying but I can't stand settling down

I Don't mind marrying but Lord settling down

I'm gonna act like a preacher so I can ride from town to town

Well I'm leaving town but that won't make me stay

I leaving town crying won't make me stay

Baby the more you cry the farther you drive me away
