Big Joe Williams lyrics

Jinx Blues blues lyrics

Woke up in the mornin', jinx all 'round your bed
Woke up in the mornin', jinx all 'round your bed
Well, didn't have nobody now, woman, nowhere to lay my achin' head

Well, it's peoples tryin' to tell me low-down jinx ain't bad
Well, it's peoples tryin' to tell me low-down jinx ain't bad
Well, then it must not aÕ been them low-down jinx I had.

If you ever dream lucky, woke up cold in hand,
don't you hear me talkin',
If you ever dream lucky, woke up cold in hand.
Had the jinx so bad, till my woman's she's gone away with another man

Uh-uh, cryin' mercy, now, you don't know what mercy mean.
Well, everybody cryin' mercy, don't know what mercy mean.
It's the meanest jinx, baby, I want you to, please, come back to me.

(Spoken): 'Cause the jinx might leave you. The hoodoo jinx in my bed.
