Jimmie Rodgers — 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] [?]
