TRAVELLING RIVERSIDE BLUES

Hey

That's right
 Asked sweet mama
 Let me a-be her kid
 She said, You might get hurt
 If you don't keep it hid
 Well I know my baby
 If I see her in the dark
 I said I know my rider
 If I see her in the dark

Now, I'm goin' to Rosedale
 Take my rider by my side
 Still barrelhouse
 If it's on the riverside, yeah
 I know my baby
 Lord, I said, is really sloppy drunk
 I know my mama
 Lord, a brownskin, but she ain't no plum, ah-ha

See my baby, tell her
 Tell her hurry home
 Had no lovin' since
 My baby been gone, yeah
 See my baby
 Tell hurry on home
 I ain't had on my right mind
 Since my rider's been gone

Hey, she promises
 She's my rider
 I wanna tell you
 She's my rider
 I know you're mine
 She's my rider
 She ain't but sixteen
 But she's my rider

I'm goin' to Rosedale
 Take my rider by side
 Anybody argue with me, man
 I'll keep them satisfied
 Well, see my baby, tell her
 Tell her of the shape I'm in
 Ain't had no lovin'
 Lord, since you know when

Ahh yeah
 My ma-ma-mama

(Guitar Solo)

Why don't you come in my kitchen

She's a kindhearted lady
 She studies evil all the time
 She's a kindhearted woman, ahh
 She studies evil all the time

Squeeze my lemon
 'Til the juice runs down my leg
 Squeeze it so hard
 I'll fall right out of bed
 Will you squeeze my lemon
 'Til the juice runs down my leg
 I wonder if you know what I'm talkin' about
 Oh, but the way that you squeeze it girl
 I swear I'm gonna fall right out of bed
 Ah, she's a good rider

Hey yeah
 She's my kindhearted lady
 I'm gonna take my rider by my side
 I said her front teeth are lined with gold
 She's gotta mortgage on my body
 Gotta line on my soul
 She's my brownskin sugar plum
