Mr Furry's Blues - Furry Lewis

I wished I had my poor heart in my hand

I wished I had my poor heart in my hand

I show you women, how to treat a man

I’m goin', I’m goin', your cryin' won’t make me stay

Oh, I’m goin', your cryin' won’t make me stay

But the more you cry, further you drive me away

You know you didn’t want me, you oughtn’t’ve made no stall

You know you did not want me, you oughtn’t’ve made no stall

There’s plenty more women, prayin' for your downfall

If the river was whiskey, I’d stay drunk all the time

If the river was whiskey I would, stay drunk all the time

So a woman like you, could not worry my mind

Some of these mornings, baby, listen to what I say

Some of these mornings, baby, listen to what I say

I’m goin' away to leave, it will be too late to pray
