Black Mare Blues Lyrics by Tommy Johnson

(1928-30) Complete Recordings In Chronological Order

1968

(Instrumental intro)

Hitch up my buggy, saddle my black mare, saddle my black mare
Hitch up my buggy, saddle up my black mare
Find my woman, 'cause she's out in the world somewhere

If I call you, you refuse to come, you refuse to come
Now if I call you, you refuse to come
If I call you Mama, said I'll sure 'nough call your name

I been drinkin' all night, and the night before, and the night before
I been drinkin' all night girl, and the night before
Been drunk, Baby, and I ain't got sober yet

Mmmmmm, I ain't goin' stay here no more, ain't goin' stay here no more
Mmmmmm, Ain't goin' stay no more
Saw you last night, Mama, well a, and the night before

Well you gonna have a rounder of your own, rounder of your own
Yes, you gonna have 'em rounders of your own
You gonna have 'em, Mama, rounders of your own
