Match Box Blues - 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 wonderin'

Will a matchbox hold my clothes

I'se sittin here wonderin'

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 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

Baby if you don't quit

Crochet-in you gunna lose your mind

I wouldn'y mind marryin'

But I can't stand settlin' down

I Don't mind marryin'

But Lord settlin' down

I'm gonna act like a preacher

So I can ride from town to town

I'm leavin' town

I won't make me stay

I leavin' town me cryin' won't make me stay

Baby the more you cry

The farther you drive me away
