Hookworm Blues Lyrics by Blind Blake

0

[Verse 1]
Hookworm in your body, and your food don't do you no good
Hookworm in your body, and your food don't do you no good
Same way with a rounder come in a nice neighborhood

[Verse 2]
Dirty old hookworm got into my room
Dirty old hookworm got into my room
Causes me to walk groan and moan

[Verse 3]
Man like a hookworm got a hold to my baby
Man like a hookworm got a hold to my baby
He got to *point it fast* people and I don't mean maybe

[Verse 4]
Never can tell what a hookworm man will do
Never can tell what a hookworm man will do
Take your baby and make her stop loving you

[Verse 5]
I'm going to leave my baby and let her have her way
I'm going to leave my baby and let her have her way
She want me back some day when he throws her down

Mmm mmm
Her man like a hookworm taking a hold to my babe
