Blue Yodel No. 12 Barefoot Blues
[Verse 1]
Sorrow struck me one morning at the break of day
Sorrow struck me one morning at the break of day
Cause a mean old man come and took my gal away

[Refrain]
[?]

[Verse 2]
When I woke up there was nothing to do but rave
When I woke up there was nothing to do but rave
I know she didn't want me all she wanted was a slave

[Verse 3]
Since my mamas gone I got that aching heart disease
Since my mama's gone I got that aching heart disease
It works just like a cancer, it's going to kill me by degrees

[Refrain]
[?]
[Verse 4]
Never take a woman who is short and thick
Never take a woman who is short and thick
She'll have you hunting lions with a little old walking stick

[Refrain]
[?]

[Verse 5]
I wish her good luck everywhere that she roams
I wish her good luck everywhere that she may roam
I don't know why she left but I know she's never coming home

[Refrain]
[?]

[Verse 6]
Honey before I met you I had a new pair of shoes
Before I met you woman I had a brand new pair of shoes
Take a look at me now I've got those barefooted blues

[Refrain]
