Ry Cooder - Ax Sweet Mama: lyrics de la chanson

(Sleepy John Estes)

Well, I ax sweet mama, let me be her kid
She said ";I might but I'd like to keep it hid";
Well, she looked at me, she began to smile
She says ";I thought I might use you for my man awhile
But just don't let my husband catch you there
I say, just don't let my husband catch you there";

Well, I went upstairs to pack my leavin' trunk
I never saw no whiskey
The blues made me sloppy drunk
I ain't never saw no whiskey
The blues made me sloppy drunk
Well, I ain't saw no whiskey
